<p>Helloooo! I was wondering if anyone knows of any schools that have great Women's Studies programs. I am going to major in Women's Studies (and eventually become a medical doctor that specializes in women's medicine-potentially an Ob/Gyn), but would rather not go to go to an all women's school. I'd like to stay in CaliforniaAnybody know anything on this major? Thanks!</p>
<p>Woman Studies + strong Pre med program + Great medical school= Tufts.</p>
<p>Women's Studies and women's medicine are two entirely different things. Which do you want?</p>
<p>well I want to go to med school eventually after all of my undergraduate studies, but I'd really like to major in Women's Studies just to get into all the feminist theory, and learn about women in culture/literature and things like that just so I can be knowledgeable on the subjects. I guess I'd be curious about colleges that have women's medicine programs, but I'm no exactly familiar with how everything works together when getting degrees and what not.</p>
<p>Ah. Well, Mount Holyoke and Smith are two schools that are very strong with the sciences and also offer Women's Studies, but you want California and co-educational colleges. Can't help, sorry. :)</p>
<p>haha, thanks anyways!</p>
<p>Rutgers if you want something outside of CA.</p>

<p>Pomona's good for California. Strong feminist focus plus good track record for medical school admissions.

<p>If you'd consider looking East, there are many, many choices. Other than your academic interest, what do you want in a college? E.g., size, environment, etc.</p>
<p>I'd prefer a larger school, lots of diversity, and I'd also looove a lush campus with tons of trees and nature surrounding the area. A liberal atmosphere would be great, but I'm open-minded when it comes to other political stances and basic ideals. Not too big on weather as well, sunshine is great, but I love the rain too, never lived in a snowy area so can't say if I'd enjoy that. But yeah, I'm not the most STELLAR student when it comes to GPA numbers, but I'm involved in areas that interest me (volunteer at women's hospital unit and started the labor and delivery volunteer area, president of women's rights club, vp of gay straight alliance, in band for a bajillion years...etc) Well, I guess that covers it. Thanks for the recommendations everyone!</p>
<p>bump....i'm doing the same thing!</p>
<p>how about Scripps, which is a little easier to get into than Pomona? Yes, it's a women's college, but with the other Claremont schools across the lawn, it may feel more coed. Plus, the women's pgm is inter-collegiate, i.e., so you woiuld take classes at other Claremont colleges. It might be worth a visit since you are local.</p>
<p>Otherwise, top two UC's....but, more they are more numbers-driven.</p>
<p>A little easier to get into is a an understatement, It is a good school, but be realistic about the difference in admissions.</p>
<p>bump again. also, can everyone list jobs that you can apply a women studies major to?</p>

<p>With a degree in Women's Studies you will be fully qualified to be a woman wherever you go.</p>
<p>(Sorry, I couldn't resist. Actually Women's Studies is a great major if you want to go to law school)</p>
