Gender Studies Minor

The Gender Studies Minor is an interdisciplinary academic program with courses designed to complement and enrich students’ work in their major fields. To ensure flexibility in each student’s 18 s.h. program and thus assure the possibility of coordinating with the major, the gender studies minor comprises a 6 s.h. core, which includes a course that introduces the student to the discipline and a capstone which helps the student synthesize what she or he has learned, and 12 s.h. of electives. Only 6 s.h. may count in both the student’s major degree and gender studies minor.
