To fulfill the WGSS minor, students must complete at least 20 credit hours, usually five four-credit classes (although approved two credit courses, including May X, may also count toward the minor).
At least sixteen credit hours of elective courses (equivalent to four four-credit courses), in at least three different disciplines. FYW courses may count toward the minor but cannot count toward disciplinary distribution requirements.
One first year seminar may contribute to the minor when the topic has been deemed appropriate by the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality oversight committee. Temporary special topics offerings can also be applied when deemed appropriate by the oversight committee. A seminar applied to minor requirements will not be considered for disciplinary distribution purposes.
Courses equivalent to Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality offerings completed elsewhere and independent study on an appropriate topic may contribute to the minor no more than once each and must be approved by the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality oversight committee.
