Degree Requirements

Students must complete four gender and women’s studies courses: two core courses that focus on feminist theories and research practice and two electives from a list of cross-listed courses within related humanities and social science departments. Both elective courses may be taken in the same department in which the student completes an master’s or doctoral. Only one course can be an independent study course.

The certificate may be completed in conjunction with graduate work in a master’s or doctorate program, or it can be completed by itself. Please refer to the application chapter for more information on how to apply for admission.
