The Women’s Studies Undergraduate Certificate provides an opportunity for students to integrate scholarship about gender from a variety of disciplines into a coherent program of study. The Certificate Program includes a core of required courses central to an understanding of women in a social and historical context. The courses provide a basic grounding in Women’s Studies that should be useful in many other courses and as excellent preparation for graduate study and professional development. The core courses are supplemented by a variety of electives to be chosen according to the student’s specific interests. Students may enroll in the Certificate Program or take courses as electives either in their major or in any discipline that offers women’s studies courses for credit.
