Concentration in Women’s Studies
Requirements for a Concentration in Women’s Studies: 15 credits
The Women’s Studies concentration is interdisciplinary; it uses a broad variety of academic
disciplines in achieving its goals. Students are required to take a total of five Women’s
Studies courses from at least two disciplines. It is recommended that students take an
introductory course such as WO/UR 103: Introduction to Women’s Studies or WO/PH
150: Women in Western Ideas. Students are also encouraged to engage in some sort of
specialized experience such as an independent study, a directed readings course leading
to a major paper, a creative project or an internship. Students in Women’s Studies may
use courses to simultaneously count for a concentration in Women’s Studies and other
University requirements.
