The College of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Arts currently offers students the opportunity to earn a minor in Gender Studies. The Gender Studies Minor is a unique offering that covers a wide variety of topics related to gender, women’s studies and sexuality taught by faculty from across the University. This is the first time at the University that a minor of this type has been offered, and it is an opportunity that students will not generally find at community colleges. The minor allows students to take courses from Psychology, Education, Health and Human Performance, English, History, Anthropology, Sociology, Art, and other University Departments so students can limit the focus of their studies or explore the offerings from a wide variety of disciplines.
Students in this standard 18-hour minor will take two required courses:
This course introduces students to interdisciplinary approaches to gender and provides a core foundation for further coursework in the gender studies minor.
Topics in Gender Studies provides students with the opportunity to explore specific issues or ideas in more depth. Topics and disciplines will vary. Course may be repeated once for credit as topic changes.
Students choose the rest of their minor coursework from courses offered across the University. These courses include, but are not limited to:
Additional courses with a strong gender component can be approved on an individual basis by the Gender Studies Coordinator.
