| Program Requirements | Eligible Courses | Contact |
Overview
All students are welcome to pursue an interdisciplinary minor in Women's Studies. Such a minor demonstrates to potential employers and graduate programs that you are capable of serious, critical thinking from many different disciplinary perspectives. In addition, it shows a breadth of knowledge of women's issues and provides an understanding of the legal, moral, and political issues confronting women today.
A Women's Studies minor will help you choose from exciting career opportunities in many different fields, including teaching, writing, publishing, health, politics, law, psychology, and social work.
The minor in Women's Studies requires 18 course credits (six courses), one of which must be Women's Studies 101: Introduction to Women's Studies (WE).
