With permission of the WST coordinators, students may substitute one independent study course or course from another GT unit. This may be chosen from special topics courses, seminars, and other courses that focus upon gender and social inequality or social issues of science and technology. Students may register and plan their courses of study for the WST minor by meeting with WST coordinators, Carol Colatrella (LCC) or Mary Frank Fox (PUBP). Students petition for the minor at the time they petition for their major degree. Minors are conferred upon graduation and appear on students’ transcripts.

Minor Petition

The Minor Petition is submitted to the Registrar at the same time as the graduating student's Degree Petition. The Minor Petition can also be used as a checklist for students in the WST program.

Grade Requirements

All WST courses must be taken on a letter grade basis and must be completed with an overall grade point average of 2.0. Courses required by name and number in a student's major degree program may not be used in satisfying requirements for the WST minor. Courses used in the WST minor may be used to fulfill area requirements in social science and humanities as approved by the student's major school. However, area minimum requirements must be met in total (combined totals for SS/HUM may not be used). Students should consult the faculty coordinators or the HTS and LCC Directors of Undergraduate Studies for information regarding the schedule of course offerings.
