2011 TAs for GWS 150: Introduction to Gender and Women's Studies


Majors

The Gender and Women's Studies major requires 30 credits.
There are five required core courses (15 credits):

  • GWS 150 - Introduction to Gender and Women's Studies
  • GWS 300 - Field Experience in Gender and Women's Studies OR GWS 320 - Feminist Thought Into Action OR ITR 301/302
  • GWS 310 - Race, Class, and Sexualities in Women's Lives OR 325 - International Women's Issues
  • GWS 315 - Introduction to Feminist Theories and Methodologies
  • GWS 400 - Critical Issues and Feminist Scholarship

The remaining 15 credits may be selected from other GWS courses, or approved cross-listed courses offered through other academic departments. See the list of approved courses available on this website. Please note that courses in your primary major may not be used to fulfill your General Education requirements.

The GWS Advisory committee recommends that students majoring in Gender and Women's Studies either take an additional 18 credits in one area as a minor or pursue a double major so as to combine their interests in Gender and Women's Studies with a traditional discipline.


Minors

The Gender and Women's Studies minor requires 18 credits, including GWS 150, GWS 315, and three credits from any GWS course. The remaining nine credits may be selected from any GWS-designated courses or approved cross-listed courses. Click on the course listing button to see the approved courses in other departments.
