Courses approved by the Women’s and Gender Studies Programs offer students an opportunity to study gender, sex, or sexuality in different disciplines. In the event that a student seeks WGST approval for their unique experience of a non-WGST course, they will need to demonstrate that they produced 50% of the graded content for the course by researching and writing work related to gender, sex or sexuality.

Learning Outcomes*

Outcome 1: Students will demonstrate knowledge of the social and/or historical construction of gender, sex, and sexuality.

Outcome 2: Students will analyze significant works of scholarship in the discipline of women's, gender, and sexuality studies.

Outcome 3: Students will employ methods for research in women's, gender, and sexuality studies.

Outcome 4: Students will synthesize work by women and/or queer people in the field of cultural production.

All proposals must demonstrate that your work in a non-WGST course achieved Outcome 1 and at least one additional outcome.
