The Program in Social Transformation Studies offers  offers a graduate certificate for students in M.A., M.S., Ph.D. and professional programs at Kansas State or those wishing to complete the certificate independent of another degree. It consists of 12 hours of graduate level courses in gender, women, and sexuality studies. One core course–GWSS 810 is required. Three other courses at the 600 level and above can be chosen from an approved list of electives from a variety of disciplines.

To apply to the graduate certificate program, admitted students enrolled in a master's or doctoral program at K-State should email the graduate certificate director, outlining their goals in pursuing the certificate, and copying their major professor or director of graduate studies in their degree program. Students wishing to pursue the certificate independently of another degree program at K-State should apply online through the graduate school. After they have been accepted, students should meet with the coordinator to identify the courses most congruent with their chosen program of study.

This certificate may connect with one or more master degree programs. At the recommendation of the academic program, students may apply credits earned through this graduate certificate completion towards a graduate program at Kansas State University, provided that all Graduate School policies are fulfilled.
