Academic Requirements
The Gender Studies minor offers students the opportunity to concentrate on the ways gender is analyzed in a variety of fields in the liberal arts. To complete this interdisciplinary minor, students will take six courses.
Requirements
All students taking the Gender Studies minor must complete one of the following two courses:
- GEN 213/SOC 213. Sociology of Gender
- GEN 215/ANT 215. Sex, Gender, and Culture
Five more courses may be taken as electives from regular or special topics offerings in a number of departments: Art, Theatre, English, Modern Languages, History, Philosophy and Religion, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, and Anthropology. Other courses may be applied to the Gender Studies minor after consultation with the instructor and the program director.
Students planning to complete the Gender Studies minor should consult with the program director on their course selection. Students whose senior capstone experience focuses on the issue of gender may also apply that credit toward the minor.
