The program is designed to acquaint students with the place of women in society and prepare them to deal with discrimination against women. Because the study of women is interdisciplinary, the program is coordinated by the chairperson of the Division of Social Sciences. The additional 15 credits are to be selected from the courses listed below. In the future, as the minor adviser deems appropriate, more courses may be added. Any directed study course for which an instructor is available is acceptable provided the subject matter is appropriate.
Students develop a coherent program of study in consultation with their minor advisers.
Advisers are usually faculty with backgrounds or specialties related to women's studies. When the program and plan are approved by the advisers, they are forwarded to the chairperson of the Division of Social Sciences for information. Courses with grades of D are not acceptable to meet the minor requirements. Students planning to minor in women's studies must register with the chairperson of the Division of Social Sciences.
