The Interdisciplinary Women’s Studies Program, established in 1986, offers students the

more complete and balanced understanding of women's and men's lives, both historically and
in contemporary society.

Admission to the introductory Women’s Studies course, WS 2003, is open to students in all
Faculties and all years. Students in any Faculty may complete a Minor in Women’s Studies.

Some departments offer honours seminars that may be pertinent. Please consult the relevant
department for more details. Please consult the Co-ordinator of Women's Studies for the most
recent lists of core and supplementary courses. Because Minors are subject to University-wide
regulations, courses on women offered in other Faculties, such as ED 5181 Feminist Theory and
Education and NURS 4274 Iconography of the Nurse, may be counted as core courses for the
Women's Studies Minor, although they may not be eligible for Arts Faculty credit. Arts students
seeking credit for Women's Studies courses outside their Faculty must ensure that they have
Arts Faculty approval before they register for such courses.
