Program Requirements
The graduate option in Gender and Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary program for students who meet the degree requirements in Art History who wish to earn 6 credits of approved coursework focusing on gender and women's studies, and issues in feminist research and methods. The final research paper must be on a topic centrally related to gender and/or women's studies. The term "research paper" here refers to the major research paper that students in the non-thesis stream normally (but not necessarily) write for a graduate seminar or independent reading course during the academic year and then revise and expand during the following summer under the supervision of a faculty member.
