Gender Studies Minor Requirements

The program offers a minor for students specializing in other disciplines. Twenty units of course work are required for completion of the minor in gender studies. Because  many SWMS courses are crosslisted, the two elective upper division courses must be from two different departments.

Requirements for the Minor

1. SWMS 210gm: Social issues in Gender or SWMS 215g: Gender Conflict in Cultural Contexts or 225: Sex Similarities and Differences: A Multidisciplinary Approach
2. SWMS 301m: Introduction to Feminist Theory and the Women’s and Men’s Movements
3. SWMS 410: Senior Seminar in Gender Studies
4. Two additional four-unit upper division courses (300-level and above) selected from the list of courses

A total of twenty units are required to complete the minor.
