- Students must complete a minimum of six credits of coursework exclusive to the minor that cannot count toward the major(s) or other minors.
- Students must complete at least three courses at the 3000-level or higher and each must be at least three credits.
- Although students must complete WST 2322 before enrolling in WST 4941C, they may take the elective courses in any order at any time (i.e., before, during, or after taking the two required courses).
- Students are encouraged to indicate their intention to enroll in WST 4941C as soon as they commit to the minor, by completing this survey.
- Sometimes, and with the approval of the undergraduate coordinator for Women’s Studies, students may petition to have other, relevant courses approved as substitutes within each category of electives within the minor. Such courses could include department special topics offering with numbers like 3930, 4930.
Each semester, courses offered for this minor are listed on the Women's Studies courses website.
