Graduate courses approved for the GWSS Graduate Certificate include courses from several major departments, such as Social Work, History, English, and Sociology, among others.  

Each semester, Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies collaborates with Graduate Programs to determine which graduate courses can be approved for the GWSS Graduate Certificate.  The courses must have an emphasis on women, gender, sexuality, or related topic.  A student may petition the Director and their Curriculum Committee to allow a course without a specific emphasis, but the student must then integrate women, gender, and/or sexuality into the course work and present this to the Director and Curriculum Committee.


While students are not required to take approved graduate courses in a particular order, they are required to take 3 hours (1 class) of graduate level theory selected from the approved graduate course list.  The other 9 hours (3 classes) are chosen by the student.  We strongly recommend student enroll in the theory class first to establish a strong foundation upon which to build their progress in the other courses.
