How to minor in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies:

Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies is an interdisciplinary program concerned with issues that affect people due to their gender or sexual identity. The minor allowsstudents to take courses in various departments that will enrich their lives as they explore topics such as the meanings of femininity and masculinity, sexual orientation, gender roles in society, sex, feminism, and global gender issues.
