Women’s Studies Minor

Marieke Van Willigen, Director, Brewster A415

The minor in women’s studies 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 24 s.h. program and thus assure the possibility of coordinating with the major, the women’s studies minor comprises a 6 s.h. core, which includes a course that introduces the student to the discipline and a senior seminar which helps the student synthesize what she or he has learned, and 18 s.h. of electives. A course may not count toward the student’s major degree and the women’s studies minor.
