Women's Studies Courses
 


Core Courses:

WS 101 Introduction to Women's Studies
Through readings, films and class discussion, students engage in a critical examination of theories of gender and their social implications. By examining their own experiences as well as the ways in which they fit or do not fit into the patterns revealed through women's studies scholarship, students arrive at a better understanding of the relationship of women and men to the society at large.  NOTE: This course satisfies the Human Behavior and Society requirement in General Education for the 2003-2005 catalog.

WS 492 Special Topics in Women's Studies
Special topics in women's studies not included in regular course offerings.  May consist of lectures and discussion with an emphasis on research.  May be repeated for a maximum of six credit hours.  Prerequisite: Women's Studies 101 or permission of the instructor.

Research in areas of women's studies on topics not covered in existing courses.  Subject and credit earned must be approved by the faculty member, coordinator of women's studies and dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.  May be repeated for a maximum of six credit hours.  Prerequisite: Junior standing.
