Undergraduate Minor

The Minor

Similar to the major, the Women’s and Gender Studies minor includes three basic social analysis courses aimed at providing students with a gendered lens through which to see social, cultural, and political issues. Students are encouraged to expand their view of their personal lives to include a framework that promotes resilient responses to all forms of oppression. To complete the minor, program participants take three additional courses to be chosen from the approved course list from the Women’s and Gender Studies major.
