    Women's Studies Minor
     
WS Home   The Women's Studies Minor provides a thorough education in feminist thought and theory.

The minor combines core courses and electives to provide students with an education in feminist scholarship that is both focused and interdisciplinary. Core courses in the minor emphasize fundamental concepts of feminist scholarship. Electives are offered in nine departments and programs.

The minor in Women's Studies has many uses. Students who complete the minor understand how social, historical and psychological forces, organized by the central concept of gender, shape human experience. They gain the ability to transfer the critical skills they acquire to other classes, beyond the campus to other activities, and eventually to their professional careers.

The minor consists of 28 units total: 20 units of Core courses and 8 units of Electives.
