The interdisciplinary minor in gender studies supports the mission of the University by helping students understand how gender affects their lives, how gender roles have changed over time, and the ways gender drives both change and continuity in our culture. The minor consists of six courses (18 credits), with no more than two courses from one discipline (major).
