Minor in Women's Studies

The interdisciplinary Women's Studies minor offers students, both women and men, the opportunity to select courses from a wide variety of disciplines. Women's 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 WS required and selective elective courses which are offered under individual department prefixes. Most of the courses that count toward a Women's Studies minor also satisfy CAS core requirements.

Students wishing to declare a Women's Studies Minor must contact the Coordinator of the department, Kimberly J. Pace, before completing the online declaration of a minor form.
