The Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Minor

The Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies minor consists of 24 credits. At graduation, WGSS minors must have a GPA of at least 2.0 in the minor. The calculation is based on the grades of all courses presented for the minor. Only the most recent grade is considered for courses that have been repeated. All Allegheny courses required for the WGSS minor must be taken on a letter-grade basis. A maximum of 8 transfer credits may be counted toward the minor; exceptions must be approved by the department chair.

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

Electives:


  • Minors must take eight credits of electives from the Program and/or Discipline-Specific courses listed under the electives for the WGSS major requirements. At most four credits from the internship courses WGSS 501 , WGSS 502 , WGSS 503 , and PSYCH 540  may count toward the elective requirement.

Note:


All Allegheny courses required for a WGSS minor must be taken on 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 minor is Interdisciplinary Studies, students may complete any major to satisfy the college requirement that the major and minor be in different area of study.
