PRE-LAW PREPARATION
OSU provides opportunities for a complete and rigorous preparation for students interested in attending law school. Our accomplished graduates attend some of the finest schools in the nation.
Law school is one of the few professional schools that do not require a particular set of courses as a prerequisite for admission. Students may major in any subject. Students should choose a
major that engages and challenges them, a course of study where they can excel. They are advised to supplement their major courses with a diverse selection of classes that offer depth, rigor and skill in three areas: written and oral communication, deductive reasoning and logic, and a general knowledge of the institutions and values of our society.
The College of Liberal Arts offers many effective and engaging ways to prepare for law school, rather than one single pre-law program. Students interested in law school may contact
Professor Rorie Solberg in the Political
Science Department. Call 541-737-2811 for her office hours. Students should also obtain the College of Liberal Arts pre-law advising brochure from the CLA
Student Services Office in 213 Gilkey
Hall or the Political Science office. The brochure is also available online at http://oregonstate.edu/dept/pol_sci/
Advising/PreLawGuide.htm.
ACADEMIC ADVISING

COLLEGE OF
LIBERAL ARTS REQUIREMENTS
A liberal arts education involves exploration and broad study beyond one’s major field. Students are encouraged to understand other cultures, other ways of knowing, and other fields of study. Students are encouraged to take more courses in areas outside their major field to enhance their experience
Liberal arts students are required to satisfy four sets of requirements:
• University Baccalaureate core
• College of Liberal Arts core
• BA or BS requirements
• Major program requirements
The university baccalaureate core course requirements are explained in a separate section, “Earning a Degree at Oregon
State.” The College of Liberal Arts core and the BA and BS requirements are explained below. The major program requirements are explained in the appropriate section in the pages that follow. If you want to add a minor program, you will also need to complete the requirements for that minor. Specific requirements for interdisciplinary minors are listed in the Interdisciplinary
Studies section of this General Catalog.
Specific requirements for disciplinary minors are usually given in the appropriate departmental section; for example see the Economics section for requirements for a minor in economics.
You may not use a single course to satisfy more than one of these requirements. In addition, you may not use courses within your major field to satisfy either baccalaureate core or liberal arts core requirements. (However, courses taken to satisfy the baccalaureate core requirements or the liberal arts core may also be used to satisfy requirements for a minor.)
Liberal Arts Core
The liberal arts core consists of five courses (at least 15 credits) as follows:
• Humanities (3): Critical examination of influential traditions and ideas as defined by major scholarly works
(includes English literature; ethnic studies; film studies; foreign language and literatures, including culture; history; and philosophy).
• Fine Arts (3): Participation in or appreciation of different forms
(includes art, music, theater, and creative writing in poetry, fiction, or drama).
• Social Science (3): Scientific investigation and theory pertaining to human individuals, social groups, institutions, and ideologies (includes anthropology, economics, political science, psychology, sociology, women studies, and selected geography courses).
• Nonwestern Culture (3): Study in any of the following areas focusing outside of western culture–Africa,
Asia, Russia, South America, Central
America, Caribbean, Middle East, the
Pacific, or Native North Americans.
• One additional course from one of the preceding four areas (3).
For a list of specific courses that satisfy the liberal arts core requirements contact the Liberal Arts Student Services Office,
213 Gilkey Hall, or visit the College of
Liberal Arts website: http:// oregonstate.edu/dept/cla.
BA/BS REQUIREMENT
Nearly all liberal arts students graduate with either a Bachelor of Arts or
Bachelor of Science degree.
• BA Requirement: Second-year proficiency in a foreign language at the college level with at least a “C–”.
• BS Requirement: A minimum
15-credit block of science, computer science, and quantitative studies as follows:
1. Any computer science (CS) course approved by the student’s major department (3–4), and
2. Any course from the College of
Science approved by the student’s major department except math
(MTH) or statistics (ST) courses (3–4), and
3. One of the following (8–12):
• Any 8 credits of departmentally approved ST courses, 4 credits of which must be at the 300 level or above (8).
• MTH 111 and MTH 245 (4,4).
• Any 8 credits of MTH courses at the
200 level or above (not including

• MTH 211 and MTH 212 (4,4). Preelementary education majors only.
• MTH 241 or MTH 251, and ST 351
(8). Economics majors.
Many departments require specific courses to satisfy the BS degree requirements; students should consult their academic advisors for details. Courses used to satisfy the BS degree requirements may not also be used to satisfy baccalaureate core requirements.
The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree is offered in applied visual arts by the
Department of Art. BFA degree requirements differ from those in other College of Liberal Arts programs. Students in the
BFA degree program must complete the baccalaureate core and a minimum of
105 credits in art.

Applied Anthropology
The Department of Anthropology offers courses to meet the needs of students interested in a comprehensive understanding of human societies and cultures past and present. Prehistoric, historic, ethnographic, and linguistic study provides the basis for understanding how a variety of societies solve common problems. The anthropology curriculum provides a cross-cultural perspective, a sound basis for later professional or graduate education.
An anthropology degree enables students to pursue a broad range of jobs requiring a liberal arts background; for example, education, human and governmental services, law, business, media, and medicine. It prepares them especially well for work situations that emphasize cross-cultural awareness, international contacts and management of cultural resources.
Anthropology bridges sciences and the humanities and develops critical thinking, communication skills, facility with group processes, and the ability to work independently. It can help students succeed in an increasingly interconnected and complex world. The department also participates in the
MAIS degree program.

The Department of Art offers Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), Bachelor of Arts
(BA), and Bachelor of Science (BS) degrees through extensive course work in fine arts, graphic design, photography, and art history.
The curriculum provides an awareness and understanding of the historical and contemporary significance of art as a unique feature of society.
Major programs offer the opportunity for professional artistic development while incorporating subjects that lead to a liberal education. These major programs prepare the student for a range of professional opportunities or later graduate study in graphic design, advertising, communications, photography, fine art, and art history. As an enrichment for our students, the department sponsors exhibitions, lectures, workshops, and other events related to the visual arts.
Candidates for the BFA degree may select an option in fine arts, graphic design or photography. Candidates for the BS degree may select the Fine Arts option. Candidates for the BA degree may select an option in fine arts or art history.
The BFA is a pre-professional degree.
The College of Liberal Arts requirements for the BFA differ from other degree programs. (See BFA in Applied Visual
Arts.)
Admission into the Graphic Design and Photography options is selective and competitive. See program requirements for specific details.
The Art History minor combines an introduction to art history with an opportunity to explore advanced topics. The Visual Arts minor is a studio concentration in either fine arts or graphic design. The department also participates in the New Media Communications minors (multimedia, telemedia, and print media).

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM
The Department of Economics offers undergraduate major and minor programs in economics. The economics program is an excellent choice for students interested in:
• Law school or graduate programs in business, economics, public administration or other social sciences.
• Careers in business or public management.
• Becoming wiser consumers and more valuable citizens.
The study of economics provides a framework for logical thought that can be used to address a wide variety of practical problems and situations. It can provide uncommon insights into society itself. Indeed, people holding degrees in economics are increasingly sought for positions of responsibility and authority in government, business, and industry.
The economics major is useful preparation for various careers and for graduate study in many fields, primarily because it does not lead simply to the accumulation of facts but rather develops analytical skills that can be used in many ways.
The Managerial Economics option emphasizes applications of economics to the problems of management for students planning to enter business careers upon graduation.
GRADUATE PROGRAM
The Department of Economics offers
MA, MS, and PhD degrees, as well as courses applicable toward graduate degrees in forest resources and agricultural and resource economics. The department also participates in the
Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary
Studies (MAIS) and the Master of Public
Policy programs. The graduate program in economics emphasizes a strong foundation in economic theory and econometrics. Areas of specialization include econometrics, industrial organization, international economics, and resource and environmental economics.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
• For admission, an applicant must have at least a “B” average in the last two years of undergraduate study.
• The general Graduate Record
Examination (GRE) is required of all applicants.
• The Department of Economics requires proof of English proficiency from all international students, with a minimum Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) score of 575 (paper) or 230 (computer).
• An undergraduate major in economics is desirable but not required.
However, students should prepare for
graduate study in economics by completing courses in intermediate microeconomics and macroeconomics. Students should also complete undergraduate courses in calculus
(differentiation and integration), statistics, econometrics, and linear algebra.

Ethnic Studies
Ethnic studies is an established academic discipline traditionally defined by a concentration on the experiences and concerns of the four major ethnic minority groups historically underrepresented in United States political and institutional life and in university curricula. Ethnic studies faculty bring a variety of methodological approaches to bear on the exploration of issues affecting African American, Asian
American, Chicano/a-Latino/a, and
American Indian and Alaskan Native communities. A degree in ethnic studies provides a sound basis for future work in graduate or professional programs and is of value to students interested in careers in a broad range of jobs requiring a liberal arts background and an understanding of race, ethnicity and cultural competency.
Ethnic studies majors and minors must satisfy all university baccalaureate core and College of Liberal Arts requirements for the BA or BS degree.
ETHNIC STUDIES
(BA, BS, HBA, HBS)
In addition to an ethnic studies core of issue-based courses that examine the intersections of race, class and gender and their relation to the construction of ethnicity, one area of emphasis on a specific ethnic group and a community internship are required.
Students work closely with a departmental advisor to determine a program of study that best meets their needs.
A grade point average of 2.00 is required and majors must earn a grade of “C–” or above in all major courses.
Individualized research and study is limited to 3 credits.

Foreign Languages and
Literatures
The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures offers major programs leading to a BA degree in French,
German, or Spanish, as well as minor programs in Chinese, French, German,
Japanese, Russian, and Spanish for undergraduate students with majors in other disciplines. The major and minor programs provide students with the opportunity to develop language skills and to raise their understanding of and appreciation for foreign literatures and cultures.
Proficiency in a foreign language and knowledge of a foreign culture can enhance career possibilities in fields that range from business, library work, and government service to park service, oceanography, agriculture, and forestry.
Students often find it possible to combine languages with another major such as business, fashion, and professional training to prepare for an exciting, internationally oriented career.
Study of a language other than
English can help students improve communication skills in English, become more linguistically aware, develop analytical skills, and communicate on an equal basis with non-Englishspeaking people. Through language courses, students can gain a global perspective, more fully understand different cultures and value systems, and enhance their general knowledge of world development.
An undergraduate academic major
(French, German, or Spanish) is required as a prerequisite to the Fifth-Year
Teacher Education Program designed to prepare students for licensure and/or other graduate programs in education.
The department cooperates with institutions of the Oregon University
System and with other Northwest institutions of higher education in administering overseas study centers at
Beijing and Fujian, China; Quito,
Ecuador; Angers, Lyon, and Poitiers,
France; Baden-Wurttemberg and
Cologne, Germany; Tokyo, Japan;
Seoul, Korea; and Puebla, Mexico.
Students may also study at different institutions in Russia and in the former soviet republics. The department cooperates with the Office of International Education to offer study programs in Santander, Spain, and Tunis,
Tunisia. In addition, it offers a summer program in Ecuador. See International
Education and Foreign Study Programs.
LIBERAL STUDIES
The BA in Liberal Studies offers area studies that allow students to use language and culture courses taken in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures to fulfill core course requirements. Students majoring in liberal studies can elect to complete their undergraduate degree using prestructured programs in the following areas: Asian studies, Chinese studies,
European studies, Japanese studies.
A minimum of 45 credits of course work in the concentration area is required to complete the Liberal Studies degree (see the Liberal Studies section of this catalog for details).
CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS
The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures participates in the
Languages in Culture, Latin American
Affairs and Russian Studies certificate programs. These interdisciplinary programs are designed for students who wish to combine their departmental major with a broad knowledge of Latin
American or Russian affairs, past and present, or who wish to explore how languages and cultures interact. Core courses are typically taken in language, in the humanities and social sciences
(see the College of Liberal Arts section of this catalog for details).
MASTER OF ARTS IN TEACHING
(French, German, Spanish)
In conjunction with the Professional
Teacher Education Program the
Department of Foreign Languages and
Literatures offers a Master of Arts in
Teaching (MAT) degree that prepares students for initial Oregon teaching certification in the following licensure areas: French, German, and Spanish.
The program consists of courses in education, practicum, and subject graduate course work in the target language. To be admitted to the program students must demonstrate advanced proficiency in French,
German or Spanish (as defined by the
Department of Foreign Languages and
Literatures). For complete program details students should contact the department’s MAT graduate advisor or the College of Education.
(Bilingual Education/ESOL)
The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures also supports an MAT program leading to a secondary endorsement in Bilingual Education and in English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). To obtain the bilingual education endorsement students must complete course work in education and achieve a proficiency level in a target foreign language as defined by the department. For complete program details students should contact the department’s MAT graduate advisor or the College of Education.
MASTER OF ARTS IN
INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES
French, German, and Spanish are recognized areas in the Master of Arts in
Interdisciplinary Studies (MAIS)
Program. Typically, candidates who select French, German or Spanish as one of their primary areas complete graduate course work in language, linguistics, literature and culture studies. To be admitted to a foreign language component of the MAIS program, students must meet the Graduate School’s general entrance requirements and obtain the consent of a graduate faculty of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures who agrees to serve as the field advisor.
A maximum of 6 graduate credits completed at an overseas study center may be used to satisfy requirements for any one of three fields of the MAIS degree.
DEPARTMENTAL
REQUIREMENTS/BA DEGREE
PROGRAMS
Lower-division courses are prerequisite to the major and minor programs. Students with previous training or experience in the language are advised to contact the department for placement.
To be admitted to a major or minor program in the department, a student must have attained appropriate proficiency (as defined by the language section faculty).
Foreign language majors may fulfill the College of Liberal Arts requirement for the BA degree by successfully completing: a. a second-year sequence in a second foreign language; b. one year of another language plus
9 credits of upper-division courses in their own major; c. one year of another language, plus
9 credits of approved upper-division courses; and, d. take 18 credits of courses relating to a linguistic culture outside of their major.
Prior to graduation with a language major, students must participate in an approved study program or in an approved work experience in a country where the language is spoken, or must fulfill this requirement as the language section faculty prescribes.

Contemporary Hispanic studies
The MA in Contemporary Hispanic
Studies provides an alternative to traditional pre-doctoral programs focused on literary theory or linguistics.
Based on the multidimensional approach to language education promoted in the National Standards for
Foreign Language Education, this program brings together theoretical knowledge and practical skills in a single program designed to prepare students for further graduate study or for careers in education, migrant programs, nongovernmental organizations, and other sectors affected by rapidly changing demographics. The integrated minor provides additional exploration of themes related to intercultural communication from a broad, interdisciplinary perspective.
The Master of Arts in Contemporary
Hispanic Studies requires completion of
48 credits of graduate-level course work.
A 15-credit integrated minor emphasizing intercultural studies must also be completed.

LIBERAL STUDIES
(BA, BS, HBA, HBS)
An interdisciplinary major in liberal studies leading to a BA or BS degree is available for students whose academic and career interests suggest greater curricular breadth and flexibility than is available in other major programs.
Candidates for the Liberal Studies degree must complete the following:
• University baccalaureate core
• College of Liberal Arts core requirements
• A program consisting of 45 or more credits that are thematic in nature and include at least 27 upper-division credits developed from the course offerings of two or more departments within the College of Liberal Arts. The plan of study and statement of justification must be approved in advance by the director.
• At least one Writing Intensive Course with a grade of “C” or better.
• Maintain a 2.0 or better university GPA.
• Maintain a 2.3 or better major GPA.
The typical program is designed to meet the needs and interests of the particular student and is unique in content. In some cases, a prestructured program may provide a suitable match.
HUMANITIES OPTION (51)
Available only at OSU-Cascades Campus
The Humanities option at OSU-
Cascades is innovative. It allows students to enrich their educational experience by drawing on the resources of several partner institutions. Strongly interdisciplinary in its emphasis, the
Humanities option reaches out across institutional and disciplinary borders which, traditionally, have been heavily fortified. The Humanities option at
OSU-Cascades embraces the idea that collaboration is an integral element of any learning process, and, in this spirit, students will work closely with faculty advisers in the design of their programs.
In line with its goal of enhancing the educational experience by crossing boundaries, the Humanities option also seeks to facilitate interrelationships between the student’s academic program and the larger community.
No course may be used to meet more than one requirement. Courses used to fulfill the Humanities option requirements cannot be used to fulfill baccalaureate core or liberal arts core requirements, except writing intensive core
(WIC) courses. 27 credits in the option must be OSU College of Liberal Arts credits.

The Department of Music offers programs leading to the BA or BS degree, a variety of baccalaureate core courses for students with little or no background in music, and opportunities for qualified students to perform in bands, choirs, and the symphony orchestra. Students wishing a greater curricular choice may wish to combine music study with courses in another department in the College of Liberal Arts for a liberal studies major.
The Department of Music offers graduate courses in music education, literature and history, conducting, performance and special projects.
Graduate students may pursue the
Master’s of Arts in Teaching (MAT) in music education or the Master of Arts in
Interdisciplinary Studies (MAIS) in a broad range of fields. OSU’s graduate programs in music have been approved by Oregon’s Teacher Standards and
Practices Commission and the National
Council for Accreditation of Teacher
Education. Programs are available for individuals seeking both the initial and/ or continuing license in music at all
levels of authorization. The continuing license may be earned through completion of a masters degree and three years or more of successful teaching.
Performance instruction at the intermediate and advanced levels is available with instructor consent.
Students should contact the department office for application procedures and fee schedules.
Scholarships are available for music majors and for outstanding performers.
Auditions and interviews take place in
February, March, and April each year.
Selection is based on musical and academic achievement.
The Music Learning Center in Benton
Hall has a large collection of phonograph records, scores, and compact disks, as well as listening facilities, and electronic and computerized learning aids. Books on music, videos, and some printed music are also housed in the
Valley Library.
Labs for the two-year literature and materials sequence are taught using computers in the Kidder Hall-028
Multimedia Lab.
Career possibilities in music include teaching in the schools or privately, performing in orchestras or ensembles, music librarianship, arts management, music business, and recording engineering.

The Department of Philosophy offers an undergraduate program leading to a BA or BS degree, a philosophy minor, an undergraduate and postbaccalaureate certificate in applied ethics, an MA in
Applied Ethics, and participates in the
Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary
Studies (MAIS) program with a focus on applied ethics and other areas of philosophy. The department’s Program for Ethics, Science, and the Environment
(PESE) supports multidisciplinary education and scholarship on ethical and policy issues that are raised by advances in scientific knowledge, biotechnology, and natural resource use.
The Spring Creek Project seeks to bring together the practical wisdom of the environmental sciences, the clarity of philosophical analysis, and the creative, expressive power of the written word, to find new ways to understand and re-imagine our relation to the natural world.
Baccalaureate core courses are taught for students interested in broadening their intellectual horizons, developing their abilities for intellectual criticism, and enlarging their understanding of social, ethical, religious, political, and aesthetic values in contemporary society and world cultures. The department invites non-majors to combine study of philosophy with their major program by enrolling in the philosophy minor or the Applied Ethics certificate program.
An undergraduate degree in philosophy provides a broad education and intellectual skills that are useful in many occupations and areas of life. The undergraduate major is also valuable background for graduate study in philosophy and religious studies and for advanced study in such professional fields as law and public service. The philosophy minor program allows students to specialize in such areas as ethics, legal and political philosophy, philosophy and religion, non-Western philosophies and religious ideas, philosophy of art, logic, philosophy of science, and the history of philosophy.
Many philosophy courses have content that is relevant to the interests of women and minority students.
Students interested in philosophy programs should contact or visit the department’s undergraduate advisor, Dr.
Jim Blumenthal, or director of graduate studies, Dr. Lani Roberts.

The Department of Political Science offers both a major and minor program; the major program leads to the BA or the BS degree. Course work in several subfields is offered, including American politics, public policy, public law, public administration, political theory, state and local government, international relations, women and politics, and comparative politics (for example, Latin
America, Asia, Western Europe, Russia).
Political science graduates pursue careers in law, foreign service, management (all levels of government), international organizations, journalism, university teaching, research, political office, and business.
Political science majors must complete core requirements specified below. They may then choose either to concentrate in one or two subfields or to seek breadth by taking courses in a number of the subfields.
Political science majors are encouraged to incorporate into their studies a minor in other social science fields such as economics, psychology, or sociology, or in a field of interest related to their specialization in political science. For example, students with interest in international relations or comparative politics may choose to minor in a language or in history, emphasizing a specific part of the world. Political science majors also are encouraged to consider the International Degree and
Global Graduates Internship programs.
The Political Science Department also participates in the Master of Arts in
Interdisciplinary Studies (MAIS) degree program and the Master of Public Policy
(MPP) degree program. See the Graduate School.

The psychology curriculum explores scientific approaches to a wide range of psychological phenomena. Courses meet the needs of students desiring a knowledge of psychology as part of their general education or professional background, planning to secure entrylevel jobs in human services occupations, or preparing for graduate study in psychology or related fields. The department offers a major program leading to a BA or BS degree in general psychology, a minor program for undergraduate students with majors in other disciplines, and participates in the
Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary
Studies (MAIS) degree program offered by the Graduate School.
Graduates with bachelor degrees in psychology often find entry-level career positions in human services, law enforcement, business, education, management, sales, and also may go on to graduate study in such fields as psychology, counseling, social work, public and business administration, and law.
MASTER OF ARTS IN
INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES
Students design their own MAIS program around three fields or areas of study, and may use specific areas of psychology for one of their two secondary fields. At least three courses must be in each field. Students wishing to include psychology as a secondary specialty area in an MAIS program should submit the following to the department:
1. Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores for the verbal, quantitative, and analytic segments of the examination
2. Overall GPA
3. A list of psychology courses taken and the grades achieved in each
4. Transcripts of all previous university work
5. Names of two references who can be contacted by the department
6. A one- or two-page statement of the purpose for including psychology in their graduate program.
To be admitted to a psychology component of the MAIS program students must obtain written consent of a faculty member in this department who agrees to serve as the field or area advisor, as well as meeting general
Graduate School entrance requirements.

Sociology
Sociology is the study of human social behavior. Sociologists examine processes of interaction within and between groups and resulting social systems. The undergraduate program in the Department of Sociology provides a broad understanding of human societies and culture for persons in all fields, with integrated programs for majors and minors in sociology leading to BA and
BS degrees.
PREPARATION
High school students planning to major in sociology should take courses in history, social studies, and foreign languages. Substantial work in English composition and mathematics is also highly desirable.
CAREERS
Students earning bachelor’s degrees in sociology are found in a wide variety of vocations open to liberal arts graduates, including business, public administration, social services, recreation, criminal justice and teaching. Undergraduate education in sociology frequently serves as preparation for graduate and professional schools offering advanced degrees in law, urban planning and management, architecture, business administration, social work and other social sciences. Postbaccalaureate education is usually required for those seeking careers as professional social scientists in program and policy analysis, marketing, and postsecondary education.
UNDERGRADUATE
INTEREST AREAS
Selecting courses around a topic or theme of interest adds meaning to one’s education and strengthens the base of understanding from which one then pursues a career or further education.
The areas of study listed below illustrate ways in which undergraduate students may group their course work, although doing so is not required.
• Deviance and social control
• Environmental and natural resources
• International development
• Social interaction and group relations
• Social policy
• Social systems and social change
Students’ academic advisors will assist them in course selection from a list available in the Department of Sociology.
MASTER OF ARTS IN
INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES
Sociology serves as a minor field of study in the Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies degree program and as a minor field in other advanced degree programs. The MAIS program is designed to meet the particular needs and interests of the individual student and features collaborative work in any two other pertinent departments.
Sociology may serve as one or two of the minor fields of concentration. See the Department of Sociology website, http://www.oregonstate.edu/dept/ sociology/graduate.html, for a listing of required course work for a minor concentration at the graduate level and for application procedures.

Women Studies
Women studies is the multidisciplinary study of women’s lives and experience.
Course work explores women’s realities in such areas as the political and social sciences, health, psychology, history, literature and arts. Women studies programs grew out of the women’s movement, involving understandings of sexist discrimination in society and a need to celebrate women’s strengths, contributions and forms of resistance.
Grounded in this feminist knowledge, women studies is constantly growing and changing in order to understand and affirm the role that issues of race, class, age, ability, appearance and sexual orientation play in women’s everyday lives. It is hoped that students will find women studies to be academically challenging and personally rewarding.
The goal is to provide a program that is intellectually sound and vocationally useful, as well as one that encourages personal growth. The Women Studies
Program offers a minor, a certificate and the MAIS degree with specialization in women studies. For the Women Studies option, please see Liberal Studies.
LIBERAL STUDIES OPTION
The BA in Liberal Studies degree gives students the opportunity to specialize in women studies as primary or secondary areas of the degree. While students who major in liberal studies must complete a total of 45 credits, at least 24 credits are required for primary specialization, and at least 15 for secondary specialization in women studies. Students work out their own specific program of course
work in women studies in consultation with a faculty advisor and in conjunction with the director of Liberal Studies.
GRADUATE STUDY
IN WOMEN STUDIES
Women studies is a recognized field of study in the Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies (MAIS) program with specializations in contemporary women’s issues; gender, race, and class; and global women’s issues. Participating students who declare women studies as their primary area are required to take a minimum of 18 credits in women studies, including WS 514, Systems of
Oppression in Women’s Lives; WS 516,
Theories of Feminism; WS 580, International Women; WS 510, Internship; and
WS 518, Feminist Research (thesis option only). The balance of courses is selected from the graduate women studies courses, projects, and research/ thesis.
Students may also choose women studies as both their primary and one secondary areas, or as secondary area(s) alone in the MAIS program. They must complete a minimum of 12 credits including WS 516, and WS 514 or
WS 580 for a secondary area.
The graduate minor in Women
Studies is available to graduate students as they work toward a master’s or PhD in departments that offer these degrees.
Students working on the graduate minor in Women Studies must complete
12 credits at the master’s level and
18 credits at the PhD level, including
WS 514, WS 516, WS 518 and WS 580.

WOMEN STUDIES MINOR
The Women Studies minor provides an exploration of gender as a focal point of analysis in determining differentials of power and opportunity. It studies the interaction of gender within a complex matrix of class, race, age, ethnicity, nationality, and sexual identity.
Students are expected to take the bulk of their course work toward the minor from core and elective courses offered by the Women Studies Program. A total of
27 credits is required for the minor, with at least 12 credits at the upper-division level.

WOMEN STUDIES
GRADUATE MINOR
Graduate Areas of Concentration
Contemporary women’s issues; race, class and gender; women and international issues
Women studies is the multidisciplinary study of women’s lives and experiences.
Course work explores women’s realities in such areas as the political and social sciences, health, psychology, history, literature, and the arts. Women studies programs grew out of the women’s movement, involving understandings of discrimination in society and a need to celebrate different women’s strengths, contributions, and forms of resistance.
Women studies can be elected as a primary and/or secondary field for the
Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary
Studies degree (MAIS) and as a graduate minor. Areas of specialization include contemporary women’s issues; gender, race and class; and international women’s issues. The master’s program requires a thesis or research report
(nonthesis option) and the completion of a core curriculum. This curriculum includes an understanding of how issues of gender, race, class, and other differences among women affect their status in Western and global perspectives. It also emphasizes the relationship between theory and strategies for social change. An internship or field placement in an agency that is concerned with women’s role and status in society is required and is designed to help students integrate classroom knowledge with practical experience. The graduate program is beneficial for any work experience in which women are affected.
Women Studies graduates are employed in human service agencies and programs, advocacy organizations such as battered women’s shelters and women’s resource centers and community organizing, teaching, business, administration, and cultural work. Many students have used their degree as a preparatory base for doctoral work.
Women studies faculty are drawn from colleges across the university.
Many teach women studies elective courses in their home departments and are involved in research projects that give them different perspectives on the challenges in women studies. These courses and faculty are not listed in this entry. For more information, contact
