Women’s Studies Minor Description and Requirements |
|
|
|
|
|
Minor Description An interdisciplinary program,
the minor in Women’s Studies offers courses in several fields. In addition,
with the support of Student Affairs staff, students have the opportunity to
apply classroom learning through participation in co-curricular activities
and programs. Women’s Studies prepares students — both women and men — to
make valuable contributions to society throughout their lives. Part of this
preparation involves heightening awareness of and respect for the
contributions and perspectives of diverse sectors of society. Although Women’s Studies is designed to be a minor concentration, it may be possible for interested students to self-design a major in Women’s Studies. Minor Requirements (6
courses — 18 credits) CORE 155: Women in American
Society (3) Fifteen (15) credits WMST electives The College catalog offers a listing of all Women's Studies courses |

In
1991, a group of faculty and staff members met to discuss how the current curriculum
could be changed to reflect a more inclusive vision of the human experience.

institution of a Women's Studies Minor would be the most focused way of
introducing this vision to our curriculum. King's introduced its new
minor in the 1993-94 academic
