Note: Courses counted toward a major field of study will not count toward completion of the Women’s Studies minor. Courses without a WS prefix may be used toward completion of the minor at the discretion of the director.

The Women’s Studies Program is an interdisciplinary program that examines the cultural and social construction of gender, explores the history, experiences and contributions of women to society, and studies the influences of gender on the lives of women and men. The program emphasizes the critical thinking across disciplines vital to success during and following formal education.

The University offers a minor in Women’s Studies. Goals of the minor include helping student’s interpret concepts of gender and gendered identities in different social, cultural and political contexts.

The Women’s Studies Program is administered by the Director of Women’s Studies. A minor consists of 18 hours of courses as approved by the director. Three of these courses must be Introduction to Women’s Studies (WS 2300), Feminist Thought and Theories (WS 4310), and Women’s Studies Seminar (WS 4399).
