Women’s and Gender Studies, Undergraduate Minor

About the Women’s and Gender Studies Undergraduate Minor

The Women’s and Gender Studies Program is an interdisciplinary, all-campus program administered by the Director of Women’s and Gender Studies.

The university offers a minor in women’s and gender studies. Goals of the minor include encouraging students to reinterpret concepts of gender and gendered identities in different social, cultural, and political contexts. A minor consists of 18 hours of courses as approved by the director. The minor typically includes WGS 2300 , WGS 4310 , and WGS 4399 . WGS 2305  is offered as an elective for the minor. However, many courses without a WS prefix may be used to complete the minor, with the approval of the director. Courses counted toward a major field of study will not count toward completion of the women’s studies minor.
