One Gender and Women's Studies course in the Social Sciences
Electives: four more credits in Gender and Women's Studies; two of these four credits must be at the 300-level.
Coursework in a traditional discipline: two credits in a single department or program outside of Gender and Women's Studies, one of which must be a methods or theory course. The course other than methods/theory may be a course cross-listed with Gender and Women's Studies. Courses that currently count toward the method/theory requirement include: ANSO 290, ANSO 300, ANSO 301, ANSO 320, ART 342, BIOL 210, ENG 200, ENG 334, HIST 285, PS 220, PS 230, STAT 200, and THTR 385; other courses may fulfill this requirement on approval by the program chair.
Capstone experience: Students carry out a project involving significant individual initiative. This may be done within the context of:
participation in the Antioch Women's Studies Abroad program
an internship
a community action project
a research/creative project carried out through independent study
an honors thesis in Gender and Women's Studies
The choice of a project is made in consultation with the program chair.
With permission of the chair, up to two credits in related studies outside the program may be counted towards the major. To be considered, courses must contain a significant component on gender and an individualized student project focused on gender issues.
