Gender Studies Minor
Interdisciplinary Minor
The Gender Studies minor offers students the opportunity to concentrate on the ways gender is analyzed in a variety of fields in the liberal arts. In order to complete this interdisciplinary minor, students will take six courses.
One course, either Sociology of Gender (SOC 213) or Sex, Gender, and Culture (ANT 215), is required. Five more courses may be taken as electives from regular or special topics offerings in a number of departments: Art; Theatre; English; Modern Languages; History; Philosophy and Religion; Political Science; Psychology; and Sociology and Anthropology. Other courses that are not cross listed as Gender Studies may be applied to the Gender Studies minor after consultation with the instructor and the program director in order to set up specific Gender Studies requirements. Students planning to complete the Gender Studies minor should consult with the program director on their course selection. A list of classes, including many special topics classes, that count for the minor will be distributed each semester. Students whose senior capstone experience focuses on the issue of gender may also apply that credit toward the minor.
