The Women’s Studies Program is an interdisciplinary university program housed in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Information on faculty affiliation is provided for reference.
Women’s Studies provides our students with an intensive interdisciplinary liberal arts education that enables them to write well, think critically, and analyze problems effectively. Our students take a variety of courses, including a capstone seminar requiring original research and writing, and an internship that helps them prepare for life after college. Original undergraduate research is encouraged, and some courses involve students in studying community problems and formulating policy solutions.
The B.A. degree in Women’s Studies consists of 45 semester hours (with a grade of “C” or higher), of which 30 must be taken from WST or WSH prefixes or from other prefixes designated as part of the major. The other 15 must be in closely related fields chosen in consultation with an academic advisor. At least 36 of the 45 semester hours required for the major must be completed in upper-division courses.
All Women’s Studies majors are encouraged to compile a portfolio to leave on file in the Women’s Studies Program office upon graduation.
Required Courses. Students must complete these courses:
| WST 100 | Women and Society SB, C (3)
or WST 300 Women in Contemporary Society SB, C (3) |
| WST 377 | History of American Feminist Thought L, C (3) |
| WST 378 | Contemporary Feminist Theory L, C (3) |
| WST 380 | Gender, Race, and Class L/SB, C (3) |
| WST 484 | Internship (3) |
| WST 498 | PS: Theoretical Issues in Women’s Studies L (3) |
| Total: 18 |
Electives. Students majoring in Women’s Studies must complete four courses (12 semester hours) chosen from the WST or WSH course list.
Related Fields. Students majoring in Women’ Studies must complete five courses (15 semester hours) in closely related fields from the WST or WSH course list, cross-listed or interdisciplinary courses, or other courses selected in consultation with a Women’s Studies academic advisor.
Students must complete one course chosen from the electives or related fields on nonwestern women. A second course chosen from these same areas must also be completed on either nonwestern, racial or sexual minority women in the United States. For more information, see an academic advisor.
The Women’s Studies minor consists of 18 semester hours, 12 of which must be in the upper division. The following courses are required:
| WST 100 | Women and Society SB, C (3)
or WST 300 Women in Contemporary Society SB, C (3) |
| WST 377 | History of American Feminist Thought L, C (3)
or WST 378 Contemporary Feminist Theory L, C (3) |
| Total: 6 |
Twelve additional hours of approved women’s studies courses must be taken after consultation with the women’s studies advisor.
Students pursuing a minor must register at least one semester before graduation and are encouraged to meet with the women’s studies academic advisor early in their course of studies.
The certificate program is equivalent to an interdisciplinary minor, consisting of 18 semester hours, and is open to graduate as well as undergraduate students. Students pursuing a certificate must consult with the women’s studies advisor. See College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, “Women’s Studies,” for a description of the certificate program.
A concentration in women’s studies is available under the Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (B.I.S.) degree, a program intended for the student who has academic interests that might not be satisfied with existing majors. Building on two academic concentrations (or one double concentration) and an interdisciplinary core, students in the B.I.S. program take active roles in creating their educational plans and defining their career goals. For more information, see Division of Undergraduate Academic Services, “Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies.”
Although the Women’s Studies Program does not offer a graduate degree, it is possible to pursue a graduate degree in some existing programs with a thesis or dissertation topic related to women’s studies. For more information, contact a Women’s Studies academic advisor.
