Gender Studies

see also: 2002-2003 Course Schedule

Gender Studies Minor: The study of gender (including sex and sexuality) has become increasingly influential in academic fields as diverse as biology, literature, business, social science, and philosophy. This multi-disciplinary minor allows students and professors to link these various perspectives on gender and the effects of gender in their studies. As students will have different majors and guiding interests, the minor is intentionally flexible in its structure.

The minor consists of at least 20 credits, twelve of which must be upper division. Required course work includes: GS101, Introduction to Gender Studies, capstone paper to be completed in conjunction with GS 494 or 497 (two to three credits and supervised by at least two instructors in two different disciplines), 15 credits from the courses listed below in at least three disciplines:
