Completing a Gender and Women's Studies Minor
To earn the minor in Gender and Women's Studies, students must complete 18 credits of Gender and Women's Studies coursework including the following three required courses:
- GWST 100 - Introduction to Gender and Women's Studies (GEP/GFR meets SS)
- GWST 200 - Studies in Feminist Activism (GEP/GFR meets SS)
- GWST 480 - Theories of Feminism
and 9 credits of upper level elective Gender and Women's Studies courses, including at least one course that specifically addresses the range of women's experience, for example through a focus on international women, ethnicity, sexual orientation and/or class. No more than 9 of these credits can be from one department.
A "C" or better is required in all courses applied toward the minor.
For GERs/GFRs, a cross-listed course may be counted under any one of its assigned disciplines, no matter which departmental designation you signed up for. For example, if you take AMST/GWST 310, you can count it towards the Humanities requirement as either AMST or GWST.
Students who wish to pursue Gender and Women's Studies in even more depth than the minor permits can do so
- By earning a certificate in Gender and Women's Studies; or
- By majoring in Gender and Women's Studies
