Women's Studies Program Requirements
Women's Studies Program Requirements
The women's studies minor is composed of six courses (18 credit hours). They include Introduction to Women's Studies, Critical Theory and Methods in women's studies, and four additional classes from the categories of core, cross-listed or affiliated courses. Core and cross-listed courses focus on women or gender and are based on recent feminist scholarship. Core courses are offered directly by women's studies, while cross-listed courses are offered by various academic departments and have significant women's studies content. Affiliated courses, while not solely dealing with women's studies topics, have a substantial component that focuses on the roles, perspectives, experiences, contributions or representations of women. Courses are offered by departments across the curriculum to meet the needs of University of Evansville students.
As a requirement, students pursuing a women's studies minor must pursue a major in a primary discipline.
