WGST Program Requirements

 

Credit Requirements

The certificate program requires completion of twelve (12) semester credit hours. Three (3) credit hours must be met by satisfactory completion of a Core course. Nine (9) remaining hours will be selected in consultation with the Women's and Gender Studies Director. Within these nine (9) credit hours, certificate students will select at least one course from the humanities group and one course from the social science group. The following restrictions apply:

  • No more than two courses (6 hours) below the 7000 level are permissible.
  • In order to remain in the program, students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
  • No course can be counted twice for the certificate program. For example, if a student takes SOCI 7410/8410 to satisfy the Core requirement, they cannot also use that course to satisfy a Social Science Elective requirement.
