Majors/Minors

Advising Tips

To move through the WMGS programs most effectively and efficiently be sure to check the course offerings each semester; see links to Courses for online information.

The WMGS major and minor are based on a progression of courses, thus you’ll want to take WMGS102 before WMGS201, etc. You’ll find that the upper-division courses have prerequisites that we encourage you to take (even if WESS lets you in). For example, WMGS201 is a solid bridge course between WMGS102 and WMSG301 Feminist Theory. Also, Feminist Theory is offered fall semesters while the research seminar, WMGS402, is offered only in the spring. Please check with the WMGS director for course rotation information if you’re not sure when a course will be offered.

The GLBTQ Studies has only one required course, GLQS200. It is only offered once a year, but the semester varies. Please refer to the semester schedules (see Courses) or contact the GLBTQ Studies Program Coordinator for assistance.
