Students are encouraged to select a seminar that converges with their own interests and to make arrangements in the fall term of their senior year for enrollment in that seminar. This affords the student the opportunity to design and teach her own course in a subject relevant to Women's Studies. Enrollment is limited to 15 students. For the project, a student must develop a detailed course outline and bibliography and a statement of purpose of this course. These, together with a letter of recommendation from her faculty advisor, must be submitted to the Dean for approval.
Deadlines are early, and only one seminar is permitted each quarter.
Full details are available in the Women's Studies office.
