Learn how gender shapes our perception of the world
Examine and analyze gender and its meaning from multiple scholarly perspectives: communication, health, history, literature, sociology, theology, and more. The minor will complement any major and, in keeping with the institutional mission to prepare men and women for scholarship and service, underscores the value and contributions of both men and women.
Students who are majoring in another program may choose to take a Gender Studies minor in addition to their primary course of study. A minor normally consists of a minimum of 15 semester hours, 6 of which must be taken at the 300/400 level. Each academic school or department must approve the student and curriculum to be used in the completion of each minor for the Office of the Registrar to verify at the point of graduation.
