Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Academic Divisions and Departments

A major in WGSS leads to the Bachelor of Arts degree and requires the completion of a minimum of 40 semester credit hours, of which at least 12 must be at the 300- or 400-level. At graduation, WGSS majors are required to have a GPA of at least 2.0 in fulfillment of major requirements. All Allegheny courses required for a WGSS major must be taken on a letter-grade basis and are included in the GPA calculation with the exception of repeated courses, for which only the most recent grade counts.

Because this major is interdivisional, students may complete any minor to satisfy the college requirement that the major and minor be in different divisions.

All courses marked with an asterisk (*) below have prerequisites.

Requirements:


Electives:


In addition to the Core Requirements listed above, WGSS majors must take 16 credits of electives selected from the lists below.
