Introduction

Please click here  to see Women’s and Gender Studies department information.

The Women’s and Gender Studies Minor gives students the opportunity to explore gender issues in the humanities and social sciences.

These degree requirements are subject to periodic revision by the academic department, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences reserves the right to make exceptions and substitutions as judged necessary in individual cases. Therefore, the College strongly urges students to consult regularly with their major advisor and CLAS advisor to confirm the best plans of study before finalizing them.
