Gender Studies Minor

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The Gender Studies minor offers courses on gender and women’s studies. The minor prepares students to examine contemporary social justice issues using gender as a category of analysis, while embracing an intersectional, transnational, and feminist perspective.

The Gender Studies minor must be planned in consultation with a faculty member in GWS. A grade of “C-” or better is required for each course in this program to count toward the minor.
