Concentration
Students must also complete a four-course concentration. All students develop an Individualized Concentration in consultation with their faculty advisor.
WGS students have developed concentrations in areas such as Arts & Activism; International Perspectives; Social Policy & Social Justice; Women of Color & Feminist Thought; Gender & Sexualities; among others. We encourage students to develop an individualized program of study that best suits their academic interests and career goals, and are committed to working closely with students as they develop their major concentration and interdisciplinary curricular focus.
Major Field Electives
Three additional electives chosen by the student from the list of courses approved for the Women’s and Gender Studies major.
