Women’s and Gender Studies students, both majors and minors, take courses across disciplines. Several crosslisted courses are offered each semester, e.g., CLS 259, PSY 365, and SOC 346. No more than two courses may be taken in a single department. Additional courses may be applied to the minor, under advisement. See departmental listings for all other courses.
