Overview
Students at McGill University who pursue this Communication Studies - Gender and Women's Studies option obtain a graduate degree in their own department as well as an “option/concentration” in GWS.

Key Features
- The option was developed by the Women's Studies program in response to needs expressed by the Graduate Group for Feminist Scholarship (GGFS) and to the range of inquiries the Women's Studies program regularly receives from potential students interested in graduate-level work with a feminist focus at McGill University.
