The minor in Women’s and Gender Studies enhances any undergraduate major by integrating a working knowledge of gender issues with the student's field(s) of study. Women’s and Gender Studies employs gender as an analytical category, along with race, class, ethnicity, ability, age, nationality, and transnationality to focus on women's contributions to society and the gender implications of cultural, political, and economic processes.
The graduate certificate in Women's and Gender Studies is an option for students whose interest in women and gender issues leads them toward particular courses and thesis topics in their department / school and for those who seek further work in interdisciplinary feminist theory and methods.
