*The WGS minor consists of 18 credit hours (six 3-credit courses).

*In addition to taking the required WGS 200 at some point, a student pursuing the WGS minor must select 15 hours from the WGS electives, all of which count for credit in another department or program.

*Although WGS 200 need NOT be taken first in the WGS program of studies, it is recommended that it be taken as early as possible due to its foundational role.

*A student's electives must include courses from each of the two broad categories of Women's Studies and Gender Studies (indicated by "women" or "gender" in the course titles.)
