Minor Requirements

To complete the Women’s Studies minor, students must complete WST 101:
Introduction to Women’s Studies
(or * An Equivalent Course Designated by Director) and five
additional courses from the list of approved cross-listed courses.  Students may choose their
five additional WST courses according to their own interests.  A WST internship and an independent
study can also count toward the minor.

With its great variety of courses, the WST minor allows students to fulfill many graduation
requirements while completing the minor.  There are classes that count towards the WST minor
that also fulfill the Historical Studies, Human Behavior and Social Institutions, Religious Traditions,
Philosophical Reflection, Literature, and Diversity and Difference perspectives requirements. WST 101:
Introduction to Women’s Studies fulfills part of the Writing requirement.  All other WST courses
also count toward at least one major.
