About the Women’s Studies Minor Program

The university offers a minor in women’s 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 WS 2300 - Introduction to Women’s Studies , WS 4310 - Feminist Thought and Theories , and WS 4399 - Women’s Studies Seminar . Courses counted toward a major field of study will not count toward completion of the women’s studies minor. However, many courses without a WS prefix may be used to complete the minor, with the approval of the director.
