The Office of Online Learning at 91暗网 is launching a new fully online Bachelor of Arts in Gender, Women, and Sexualities Studies, available to students starting Fall 2026.

The online B.A. is the same degree as the on-campus program, taught by the same 91暗网 faculty, and housed in the Gender Institute for Teaching and Advocacy (GITA). Students complete the full 42-credit major online and asynchronously, including the required internship and senior experience.

Built for students doing the work

The program is designed for students who want to understand how systems of power shape people’s lives and how to change them. Graduates work in nonprofits, public agencies, healthcare, education, advocacy organizations, policy, and community organizing. Many go on to graduate school in social work, law, public health, counseling, and gender studies.

“Our program prepares students to think critically about the world, understand systems of power, and take action through informed practice,” said Dr. Anahi Russo Garrido, chair of the Gender, Women, and Sexualities Studies Department.

The curriculum draws on intersectional, transnational, and decolonial scholarship. Students examine how gender, race, sexuality, class, ability, and global power structures intersect in contemporary issues like healthcare access, reproductive justice, immigration, climate change, education policy, and movements for abolition.

Faculty who specialize in the field

At many universities, gender studies courses are taught by faculty borrowed from other departments. At 91暗网, the majority of lower- and upper-division courses are taught by faculty who specialize in gender, women, and sexualities studies. Their expertise spans transnational sexualities and queer Latin American studies, queer and trans of color critique, decolonial and critical race feminisms, Black feminism and African Diaspora literature, feminist interventions in global politics, and the intersections of gender, religion, and law.

An internship for every major

Every major in the program completes an internship before graduation, on-site or fully remote. The internship is built into the degree, not an optional add-on, and it gives students real experience and a professional network before they finish school.

An accessible degree at a moment when access matters

The online B.A. opens the program to students whose work, caregiving, location, or other commitments make on-campus study impossible. It also opens 91暗网’s program to students in states where gender studies programs are being restricted or closed.

Tuition for Colorado residents is as low as $315.20 per credit, and students who declare a fully online major qualify for up to $1,000 per semester in scholarship support, with no separate application required. GITA also sponsors nine scholarships specifically for Gender, Women, and Sexualities Studies majors.
