Gender Studies Minor Program
A gender studies minor program may be taken with any major degree. The program is designed to offer students opportunities to integrate their understanding of gender relations in society and culture. Students must complete twenty-four credit hours comprised on nine credits of lower-division courses and fifteen credits of upper-division courses, with one lower-division core course, GDST 200, required of all minors. For the remaining credits toward the minor, students can apply credits from regularly offered courses listed below or from a list of designated courses available from the Departmental Advisor in Women's Studies. It is the student's responsibility to ensure completion of prerequisite and other departmental requirements before choosing elective courses.
Students planning to take a minor in Gender Studies should consult with the student advisor in Women's Studies about course selection at their earliest opportunity.
