About

The minor in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, approved in 1989, is an interdisciplinary program with faculty from a variety of academic units on campus.  WGS minors will gain a more complete understanding of how the social construction of gender has influenced the roles, contributions, and experiences of all individuals. Students also explore how gender and sexuality interact with race, social class, dis/ability, nationality, ethnicity, and other sites of social inequality. In providing this robust critical framework, the WGS minor complements and enhances student work in a wide range of disciplines, such as anthropology, biology, English, education, history, nursing, political science, psychology, social work, and sociology.  A WGS minor helps prepare students for careers in law, education, business, social services, health services, and government at all levels.  At least six of the eighteen credits must be at the 300 level or higher.
