This minor explores the meaning and significance of gender in human experience, including the roles, status and accomplishments of women and men within a number of academic fields. Courses bring new scholarship on gender studies and related feminist theory into the university curriculum and offer students an opportunity to integrate the perspective of several disciplines into their program.

A list of courses used in this minor must be developed in consultation with the Psychology Department. When approved, a copy of the list will be filed in the Registrar’s Office. Students may not take more than eight credits from any one department.
