Women's Studies Undergraduate Minor

The university offers a minor in Women's Studies. Goals of the minor include helping students reinterpret concepts of gender and gendered identities in different social, cultural, and political contexts.

Additionally, some women's studies courses fulfill the Social and Behavioral Sciences, Individual or Group Behavioral Sciences, and the Core Humanities requirements.

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. 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. (see below)
