Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Minor

Minor Requirements

The minor consists of 5 courses (20 credits). These courses must include the following:

     1. WGSS 100 - Introduction to Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies  

     2. WGSS 200 - Feminist/Queer Theories and Methodologies  

     3. One 300-level WGSS course

     4. Two additional WGSS courses at any level

Points to consider in developing your WGSS minor:

• Although not required, we encourage you to consider taking WGSS 400  or complete an independent study or internship in WGSS. Completing one of these options will help you better link WGSS theory to practice and provide a tangible opportunity to link this minor to your major area of study.
• The minor may include up to the equivalent of 4 credit hours from a study-away program.
• The department strongly recommends civic engagement or other community work. Up to 4 credit hours of independent study or internship may count toward the minor.
