Advising
Advising is a process through which students examine themselves, explore their opportunities, determine their best-fit educational paths, and develop action plans for achieving their university degrees. Academic advisors facilitate this process. Additionally, advisors advocate for students in the university system, serve as resource brokers for the university community, and help students thrive in a large university setting.
WGS Advisors
WGS Advisors are responsible for giving you information regarding your degree plan
(Undergraduate/Graduate Minor or Graduate Certificate), monitoring your progress,
and helping you in areas such as scholarships, transfer of credit, etc.
All students should make plans to meet with their Advisor, prior to advance registration,
if they need to review their degree progress, discuss schedule planning, and address
any questions or concerns student may have in their educational experience.

What Can I Do with this Minor/Certificate?
This is not an uncommon question for all students when they begin to choose their major/minor for their degree. Although, for students that choose to minor in Women's & Gender Studies the question seems to be more persistently asked. It is difficult to get a picture of women's studies as a field due to the number of graduates out in the workforce and the kinds of career paths being chosen. Women's Studies prepares graduates to work in various careers that may or may not be specific to a particular expectation such as other fields of study that may train for a specific career path.
There are *652 women's and gender studies programs at community colleges, colleges, and universities in the U.S.

What can I do with this Minor?
You should see the advisor at least once a year - a short meeting with him/her may save you time and money.
