Using an interdisciplinary approach, students in the minor critically examine the social construction of gender and the gendered status of women and men in a variety of cultural contexts and time periods. The minor emphasizes both scholarly exploration and the application of that knowledge to practical issues.\u00a0 Any student graduating with a minor in Women&#8217;s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies will be required to earn at least a C in all minor courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Women&#8217;s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Minor Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A Minor in Women&#8217;s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies requires 18 credit hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WS 200 &#8211; Introduction to Women&#8217;s Studies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five Women&#8217;s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Electives (15 Credit Hours)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Women&#8217;s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies minor is grounded in the university\u2019s history as America\u2019s first public college for women and its ongoing commitment to academic and leadership development for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":66,"menu_order":10,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-122","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/llp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/122","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/llp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/llp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/llp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/llp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=122"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/llp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/122\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8066,"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/llp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/122\/revisions\/8066"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/llp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/66"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/llp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
