Minor in Women's Studies

Students in any school or college of the University may minor in Women’s Studies. After enrolling with the program advisor, a student must file a Declaration of Minor form with her/his school or college; upon finishing the minor, s/he must also file a Minor Completion Form.

The Women’s Studies minor is comprised of five courses, including a minimum of three upper-division courses. Three courses are required: either WMST 1110 (1110H) or WMST 2010 (2010H) and WMST 3010 and WMST 4010. Students will select their remaining courses (9 hours) from the same list approved for the undergraduate certificate. Appropriate substitutions may be petitioned. A grade of "C" or better in each course is required. No more than two courses may be taken with the same instructor. With the exception of WMST courses, no more than two courses may have the same prefix. No more than two courses may be transferred from another institution. No more than two 1000- and 2000-level courses may be used. Unlike the certificate, the minor disallows related courses.
