Women's & Gender Studies is an undergraduate interdisciplinary
minor for students who wish to explore gender as a social construction that
shapes our thoughts, values, accomplishments, and relationships. Connected
to this is the study of how other social categories – especially race and
class -- affect our reality. In other words, Women’s & Gender Studies is not
only for and about women. Though it often concentrates on women’s lives and
contributions, it also examines and analyzes how we all exist within a
complex web of social inequalities and privileges.
MINOR: The Women's & Gender Studies minor is available to all
undergraduates, whatever their major. Students take 18 credits in courses
related to women or gender, including Introduction to Women's & Gender Studies (3
credits) and Senior Seminar in Women's & Gender Studies (3 credits). A wide range of
courses counts toward the 12 elective credits, but no more than 6 credits
from a single department will count towards the minor and 6 credits must be
at the 300 level or above.
MAJOR: A student-designed major in Women's & Gender Studies is possible in
consultation with the program director.
