Minor Requirements

The Women’s Studies Minor is open to all undergraduates in the College of Letters and Science and the School of Arts and Architecture. Undergraduates in other schools may petition. All courses must be taken for a letter grade. A grade of C or better is required for all preparation courses and core courses; courses for which a grade of "C-" or lower is earned will not count.

Admission to the minor requires a minimum GPA of 2.0 and is done by petition. Students meet with the WSP undergraduate counselor to review the requirements, to complete the registration and petition forms, and to plan their course of study. This must be done at least three quarters prior to graduation.
