SUMMARY OF FIELDS OF STUDY

GOAL(S)

Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary academic field that helps us understand the status, experiences, and achievements of women. It explores how we create and perpetuate gendered social structures and how these structures affect complicated social issues. Recommended for all students interested in investigating their responsibilities as part of a gendered society and in enriching their personal and professional interactions through commitment to both gender equity and activism for social change.
 

THE MINOR

The program offers one minor: Women's Studies

MINOR

Required Credits: 21 minimum
 
 

Required Courses:        1) WMST 201 Introduction to Women's Studies
                                        2) WMST 435 Women's Studies Senior Seminar
 
 

Electives:_

 For the remaining 15 credit hours required to complete the minor, students may choose any 5 Women's Studies. Courses approved to "count toward" the minor, but not officially cross-listed with a Women's Studies number,  may be included among these electives with a course modification form. Students who completed a cross-listed course under its departmental number rather than its Women's Studies number may include that course in their minor.

NOTE:  Cross-listed courses used to satisfy the credit requirements of the minor may also count toward a student's major.

Any Women's Studies course approved as a general education course may be used for both the minor and toward fulfilling the appropriate general education requirement. Careful selection of courses can enable students to add a Women's Studies specialization to their programs in ways that complement their majors particularly well.
