Women’s and Gender Studies

Minor Requirements

• A minimum of 18-20 credits and five (5) courses
• Completion of the required introductory course: WGS 1010 - Gender and Society   
• Remaining courses selected from Women’s and Gender Studies courses (there is no limit on how many WGS courses can count toward the minor)
• Only 2 cross-listed courses can be counted toward the minor in any single department.
  For example 2 cross-listed courses can be counted in English and other departments that we cross list courses from.
• It is highly recommended that Women’s and Gender Studies minors take at least one course beyond WGS 1010  that focuses on difference and diversity at the intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality and class. Minors are also encouraged to study gender in the context of “developing” nations beyond western borders.
