A Women's Studies minor is an 18-credit interdisciplinary program to infuse feminist scholarship and perspectives into the curriculum and to examine and reinterpret knowledge about the social, political, economic, and cultural achievements of women. It will require students to integrate knowledge from several disciplines into their thinking, research and analytical skills. Women's Studies courses challenge students to question traditional knowledge about gender, while examining other issues of diversity related to class, race, ethnicity, ability, religion, age, or sexual orientation.
