Women’s Studies Major

Major Requirements

Ten courses make up the major, at least six must be at the 3000- level or higher:

(PHIL 3250: Feminist Philosophy may be substituted for WSTD 3850 upon approval of the Women’s Studies program director)

• Two women’s studies courses from the arts or humanities divisions
• Two women’s studies courses from the social sciences or science divisions
• One women’s studies course that addresses women’s diverse experiences relating to race, ethnicity, national or global status
• One internship or other field experience
• One approved elective.

• WSTD 1010 - Foundations of Women’s Studies
• WSTD 3850 - Feminist Theory
• WSTD 5900 - Senior Seminar

Note

Three of these courses, in addition to Feminist Theory, Senior Seminar, and the internship, must be upper-division courses. Note: Courses in women’s studies are offered at all ACTC campuses, so there is a potential for duplication of content. Credit will not be given toward the major for two courses that overlap substantially in content. Students must consult with the women’s studies director to avoid duplicating courses.
