The Women's and Gender Studies minor consists of six courses (24 credit hours) complementing practically any major field of study. The minor includes three core social analysis courses aimed at providing students with a gendered lens through which to understand the social, cultural, and political issues of the day. Students are encouraged to develop a framework that promotes resilient responses to all forms of oppression.
To complete the minor, students take three additional electives chosen from the approved course list from the Women's and Gender Studies Department, in addition to the three core classes listed below.
