About

The Department of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Minnesota is committed to an inclusive study of gender and sexuality, informed by differences such as class, ethnicity, citizenship, disability, race and age. The gender, women, and sexuality studies major provides you with an opportunity to ask critical questions, reimagine society, and be a leader and agent of change in the world. Youll go further than studying society and culture by transforming it.

While studying gender, women, and sexuality studies, youll get a deep understanding of issues, approaches, and methods related to your degree. Youll grow to understand your participation and practical application of gender, women, and sexuality studies to social justice issues in your own community and the world.

The College of Liberal Arts Advantage: More Than a Major

When you study Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Minnesota, you gain the added advantage of a College of Liberal Arts education. At CLA, the liberal arts mean you get more than just a degree in one major or another; it means you will be exposed to different areas of study, to different ways of thinking and learning. In fact, the liberal arts teach you how to learnâ€”how to ask the right questions, how to problem solve, and how to innovate. The liberal arts highlight the complexities of our world, because here at CLA you will study not just, say, politics or art but also where politics and art intersect, where science and ethics intersect, where economics and the environment intersect.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

Prior to enrolling at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, all confirmed students will need to submit official final transcripts and test scores. We will compare the official final transcript and test scores against the Self-reported Academic Record. Academic integrity and student success are our highest priorities. The University of Minnesota has the right to cancel enrollment for any students who misrepresented their Self-Reported Academic Record. The Office of Admissions has sole discretion in determining if misrepresentation has occurred. Official school documents are those that are original or attested copies of original academic documents mailed in a sealed, stamped envelope directly from the secondary school, college, or university, and they must have been issued within the past year. All documents not issued in English must be in the original language and include a certified true English translation. If you complete secondary school in a country where a secondary leaving examination is required for university entry, you must also provide us with the results of this examination. Final transcripts or high school documents may include exam results such as, but not limited to, IB, A-level, WAEC, HKDSE, SPM, CISCE/CBSE, and WAEC. Refer to our Secondary School Sample Documents page. A scanned or electronic copy of an official document is considered unofficial. Official test scores must be sent directly to the University of Minnesota by the testing agency. Official results, including total, overall or composite scores and subscores, must match the information provided in the applicant's Self-Reported Academic Record form. These official documents are carefully reviewed against the Self-Reported Academic Record. If the Academic Record is deemed inaccurate, the University of Minnesota may change the college of admission or cancel admission, regardless of whether the inaccuracy was intentional or accidental. Admission to the University Honors Program and merit-based scholarships also may be affected, among other things.

English Program Requirements

The University of Minnesota Twin Cities requires all non-native English speakers to demonstrate a command of the English language that is necessary for success in college level classes taught in English. The University of Minnesota accepts the results from the English language proficiency tests listed below. Registration information is available at each test's website. All undergraduate programs at the University of Minnesota require a specific minimum score for admission. The Carlson School of Management will not admit applicants who have not met both the Total Score and Writing Subscore requirements. Some undergraduate programs may admit students with lower scores.

How to Apply

Golden Gopher Application or Coalition: Self-Reported Academic Record form
Common Application: Courses & Grades and Testing sections

You are required to report your 9th-12th grade courses and grades exactly as they appear on all of your original academic reports, transcripts and any examination results, such as, but not limited to: IB, IGCSE, O/AS/A-level, HKDSE, SPM, CISCE/CBSE, and WAEC.

If your transcripts are not issued in English, certified, true line-by-line, literal English translations are required for filling out the Self-Reported Academic Record Form.
Do not adjust your grades in any manner. Do not weight grades. Do not average or convert them.
If you are in your last year of secondary/high school, you will list your "in-progress" equivalent to US High School 12th grade courses for those that are not yet graded.
Do not send your high school transcripts.

EXAMPLE: If you went to school in China and now attend a U.S. high school, you need to report your Chinese school courses and grades (e.g. 1-100 grading scale) exactly as they appear on your original Chinese transcript issued by your Chinese school. Report your course names in English; however, you should not report your grades in the A-F grading scale if they appear on your U.S. high school transcripts.

The University of Minnesota accepts results from TOEFL iBT, IELTS Academic, PTE Academic, and CAE C1 Advanced. Due to COVID-19, additional English proficiency measures are accepted for Spring 2022 and Fall 2022 admissions. To learn how to meet the University of Minnesota's English proficiency requirements, visit our English Proficiency Information page.

Students should report their highest Total or Overall scores as well as Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing subscores from one test date using the Self-Reported Academic Record form. Do not "superscore" your tests. The University of Minnesota Twin Cities does not consider MyBest Scores: Sum of Highest Section Scores of the TOEFL iBT Score Report to meet the minimum total score requirement for admission.

If you send your official test scores to the University of Minnesota from the testing agency, we will use your official scores in our review of your application.

International Applicants should report their highest composite or total scores and associated subscores as well as Writing (ACT) and/or Writing & Language (SAT) scores using the Self-Reported Academic Record form. Do not "superscore" your tests.

If you send your official test scores to the University of Minnesota from the testing agency, we will use your official scores in our review of your application. Visit our ACT and SAT information for freshman admission page for more information.

Since the Self-Reported Academic Record form or Common Application does not capture all of the information from your transcript, the Office of Admissions requires a copy of your official South Korean high school transcripts. Please log in to your Application Tracker and upload a copy of your official transcripts including a list of your 12th grade courses in progress. You also can self-report your test scores uploading a copy of your official test score report(s) via Application Tracker.
