2007-2008 Gender Studies Courses

Consistent with College policy for undergraduate minors, the following regulations apply to the Gender Studies Interdisciplinary Minor:

1. The minor consists of a group of core courses (16 semester hours) and additional electives (8 semester hours);

2. Students choose electives from a list substantially larger than the number of courses required for the minor;

3. At least sixteen semester hours used for the minor should be unique in that they are not used for another minor or a major;

4. At least sixteen semester hours for the minor should be taken at Lewis & Clark; and,

5. The Director is responsible for verifying the student's completion of the Gender Studies Minor.

Students interested in a Gender Studies Minor should contact the Director, Deborah Heath, Sociology and Anthropology Department, x7663, and/or one of the sponsoring faculty (a current list is available from the Director). It is recommended that students plan early (by the sophomore year) for this minor to insure that they can schedule the required courses and the electives of their choosing.
