The Ph.D. program in Geography requires that students enroll in at least one course outside the department related to their field of study. If approved by the student's advisor, Women's Studies courses can be used to fulfill this requirement. As geography seeks to interpret and explain humans' spatial experience and activities, a women's studies perspective can contribute to understanding the gendered dimensions of such issues.  A selection of Women's Studies courses which might be relevant to a geography student's particular area of study:

• WOST 701 Feminist Theory
