Minor Course Requirements

The Gender Studies minor requires 18 to 24 credits in designated interdisciplinary courses, with six credits taken at the 300 level or above.  Gender Studies may also be taken as a concentration in the Bachelor of Liberal Arts major.  Students may take courses within their major and designate them for the Gender Studies Minor provided that the total number of credits in their major does not exceed 45 of the 120-credit minimum required for graduation.

Gender Studies courses can now be listed under their own designation (GNDR rather than 59).  All Gender Studies minors who matriculate by Fall 2011 will be required to take Introduction to Gender Studies.
