Gender Studies is an interdisciplinary program that provides the perspective of scholarship in gender studies and makes accessible the growing body of knowledge emerging from feminist thought. The program provides graduate students with an opportunity to earn a certificate in Gender Studies. The program requires a core course in feminist theory and four courses that are either in Gender Studies curriculum or in another department and are approved by the Gender Studies program. Departments with strong offerings in gender studies include Anthropology, Art History, English, French and Italian, Philosophy, Political Science, Radio/Television/Film, Religion, Sociology, Theatre, and Comparative Literary Studies. Students interested in the program should consult the graduate adviser in Gender Studies during the first year of graduate work.
