Women’s Studies Graduate Catalog Page

Women’s Studies  offers a graduate certificate for students in M.A., M.S., Ph.D and professional programs at Kansas State. It consists of 12 hours of graduate level courses in women’s studies and/or gender studies. One core course–Women’s Studies 810, An Interdisciplinary Overview of Feminist Thought and Practice–is required. Three other courses (at the 500 level and above) can be chosen from an approved list of electives from a variety of disciplines. Interested students should apply by letter to the Women’s Studies Certificate Coordinator detailing their goals and gender focus and how a certificate will enhance their program of study. The letter should be signed by both the student and her/his major professor or department head. After acceptance, students will meet with the Certificate Coordinator of Women’s Studies to select those courses most congruent with their program of study. A member of the Women’s Studies Graduate Faculty will serve on the student’s supervisory committee.
