M.A. Students in Women's Studies ClassOver six hundred undergraduate students take courses in women's studies each semester. Many students elect to pursue a minor in women's studies in addition to fulfilling the undergraduate core curriculum requirement in women's studies.

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, "race," ethnicity, culture, region, religion, and sexuality.  The minor is based on an interdisciplinary approach with courses offered in a variety of disciplines. 

A total of eighteen semester hours are required for the minor, including:

  • WS 2013:  Women:  Perspectives and Images, and
  • Five other Women's Studies courses.

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.

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