Minor

Students can also select from a wide variety of discipline-based courses including literature, political science, history, health studies, nursing, dance, occupational therapy, biology, psychology, sociology, business and economics, and philosophy.

Well over 150 students have elected to minor in Women's Studies at Texas Woman's University since the program began in 1992.

The women's studies minor enables students to integrate diverse perspectives and combine a traditional major with a multidisciplinary exploration of women and gender, as they intersect with class, color, culture, region, religion, and sexuality. 

The minor is based on an interdisciplinary approach with courses offered in a variety of disciplines.  The program is tailored to individual needs and interests, and is flexible in its application to current course offerings.

To minor in Women's Studies, students must take:

  • WS 2013:  Women:  Perspectives and Images
  • Five other Women's Studies courses to total eighteen undergraduate hours.

Women's Studies interdisciplinary courses available for the minor include:

  • WS 1013:  Women in Learning Communities
  • WS 4493:  Feminist Theory
  • WS 4013:  Texts, Trends and Issue

A complete list of Women's Studies undergraduate courses and descriptions is available at Course Information.
