Minor Requirements

The interdisciplinary minor sequence in Women's Studies offers a variety of courses. These courses:

• Open historical inquiry about women
• Introduce women's issues in academic study
• Consider feminist perspectives and philosophy
• Challenge cultural assumptions about women.

Women's Studies courses are open to all undergraduates - women and men - and most offer general education credit to meet diverse IWU requirements. The minor in Women's Studies requires a minimum of six courses. Students intending to minor in the program should consult with the Women's Studies Director to determine the best course plan for their needs and time, since not all courses are offered each semester. Only courses in which students earn a C or higher may be applied towards the minor.
