Requirements for the Minor
A minimum of 18 to 20 credits are required for the minor in women’s and gender studies.
Required Course
WGS 1010
|
Gender and Society
|
Elective Courses
The remaining courses should be selected from women’s and gender studies courses. There is no limit on how many WGS courses can count toward the minor.
- Only two cross-listed courses can be counted toward the minor in any single department. For example, two cross-listed courses can be counted in English and other departments that we cross list courses from.
- It is highly recommended that women’s and gender studies minors take at least one course beyond WGS 1010 that focuses on difference and diversity at the intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality and class.
- Minors are also encouraged to study gender in the context of “developing” nations beyond western borders.
