GRADUATE CERTIFICATE
|
"The graduate certificate program broadened my perspective on gender issues particularly as they relate to higher education administration. My work in women's studies enabled me to understand better the stereotyping of intellectual abilities of boys and girls and to apply what I learned to education." -- Joanna Daiwo, former Fulbright Scholar from the Solomon Islands and Certificate Program Graduate |
The Certificate of Graduate Study in Women’s Studies is open to the graduate student seeking an interdisciplinary program in women’s studies in addition to the master’s or doctoral degree that the student is pursuing in a traditional discipline. The program is also intended for postbaccalaureate working professionals such as psychologists, social workers, nurses librarians, and teachers who wish to obtain information and skills in women’s studies to aid them in their professions. We do not offer a Master's or Ph.D. degree.
Admission Requirements
The Certificate of Graduate Study in Women’s Studies is interdisciplinary and requires a total of 18 graduate credits within a six-year period in prescribed and elective courses. All students must take the two core courses: WOST 701 and 702. Each student must take at least nine credits in elective courses chosen from an approved list to meet the student’s own interests. A final required seminar, WOST 797, serves as a capstone experience to help integrate the elective courses with the material learned in the introductory core. Courses taken as part of another graduate degree program may, if appropriate, be applied also to the certificate program. The Certificate of Graduate Study in Women’s Studies is awarded upon completion of the student’s approved program of courses.
