To help women develop a perspective pertaining to their own self-interest and relate those views to social and cultural factors such as economic necessity, political participation, historical patterns, and ethics;\n2.  To develop their self-awareness in relation to others;\n3.  To develop skills of communication and analysis;\n4.  To prepare for transfer to four-year colleges and schools of professional training;\n5.  To enrich women’s knowledge of their culture and the rapid developments that are taking place within it.\n\n**Learning Outcome(s):**\n\n1.  Students will be able to utilize a feminist theoretical analysis of social interactions and social structures, explaining the formation, maintenance, and change of socio-cultural identities."
