About Bachelor of Women's and Gender Studies

Major:

Bachelor of Arts, Women's and Gender Studies

Minor:

Women's and Gender Studies

Women's and Gender Studies places the experiences and perspectives of women at the center of analysis and also considers how gender intersects with other factors, such as race and class, to shape all of our lives. Interdisciplinary in nature and founded upon the integration of theory and practice, while relying on the engagement of critique and imagination, Women's and Gender Studies brings approaches from other disciplines and fields into conversation with each other. The application of critical theories about gender and power help students address and improve the lives of women and, by extension, of children and men. Inspired by both feminist and Marianist traditions, the Women's and Gender Studies Program at UD seeks to promote:

Integration, collaboration, and personal engagement in learning
The development and dissemination of critical thinking for social justice
The appreciation and protection of human dignity and diversity
Leadership through responsibility and service to community

Students majoring in Women's and Gender Studies must complete 34 semester hours, including at least 10 semester hours in four core WGS courses and 24 semester hours of upper-division courses offered by other departments. For these additional 24 semester hours, students must complete nine semester hours in one area of concentration, six semester hours in each of two additional areas, and three semester hours in a fourth area.

The major also has a cultural diversity requirement of six semester hours. (These hours may be from courses that are also used to fulfill the area requirements.) Of the six hours, three must be from a course that emphasizes race, and/or that takes a multicultural approach, within a U.S. or European context; the other three must be from a course that focuses on a non-U.S./European context or that takes a comparative international approach.

Courses taken for the major may also count toward completion of the Common Academic Program (CAP) requirements.

Students minoring in Women's and Gender Studies must complete at least 15 semester hours, including one interdisciplinary core course (WGS 250, WGS 310 or WGS 350) and twelve hours in approved upper-division courses (300-level or above) from at least three different disciplines. Alternatively, minors may take two of the interdisciplinary core courses, and nine hours in approved upper-division courses from three different disciplines.
