Minor in Women’s and Gender Studies

The minor provides an opportunity for the study of women’s experiences and productions, representations of women, and the analysis of gender throughout history and across cultures. Students gain an interdisciplinary understanding of the historical and contemporary issues concerning women, gender, and sexuality. This minor provides a valuable foundation for pursuing careers in education, journalism, business, public affairs, the arts, the humanities, and the social sciences.

Six courses are required for the minor, including two core courses and four electives. At least two courses, one at the 300 level, must be completed at Roosevelt University. The four electives are selected from courses offered by various disciplines and allow for interdisciplinary breadth and depth. Students should check regularly with the women’s and gender studies advisor about the status of approved courses.
