Gender Studies (Minor)
The minor in Gender Studies provides a rich, interdisciplinary range of reading and scholarship in those questions of gender that shape culture. Courses are taught by specialists in a myriad of disciplines to provide a well-rounded education in gender and its effects. Greater understanding of the role that gender plays in our lives, law, and culture is useful to a wide range of disciplines and professions. Students planning for careers in education, business, management, or medicine will find the history and legality of gendered relations an especially important addition to their education. The minor in Gender Studies is available to undergraduates enrolled in any discipline or program other than Interdisciplinary Studies.
