Minor in Women's and Gender Studies
The interdisciplinary Women's and Gender Studies minor offers students the opportunity to select courses from a wide variety of disciplines. Women's and Gender Studies courses offer students a dynamic, interactive environment that encourages critical thinking, empowers students as learners, enriches their sense of our civilization's diverse heritage, connects their knowledge from other courses, and challenges them to become actively engaged in shaping the world around them.
To complete a minor, students must take at least 18 credits, choosing from WSGS required and selective elective courses which are offered under individual department prefixes. Most of the courses that count toward a Women's and Gender Studies minor also satisfy CAS core requirements.
Students wishing to declare a Women's and Gender Studies Minor must contact the Coordinator of the department, Kimberly J. Pace, before completing the online declaration of a minor form.
