Courses

WGSS courses come from disciplines across the liberal arts. Each semester students can select from among dozens of courses (with and without a WGSS prefix) that count toward the WGSS major.

There are two types of courses that can count for WGSS credit, regular courses and special cross-list courses. The latter require students to make arrangements with the instructor to complete the course for WGSS credit. Contact the course instructor or the WGSS coordinator for more information on those.

Previous course offerings are listed by term and subject to assist students with planning their programs. In addition, see course offerings for the upcoming term.

For faculty looking for information about special cross-list opportunities, see the WGSS cross-listing policies and procedures.
