SWGS Minor

For a list of courses that count for the minor, please see the General Announcements (GA).  Current and previous course lists by semester are also archived on our website.

To get answers for your questions or to declare the minor, please contact Prof. Tabea Linhard, DUS for CSWGS.

New minors must formally declare the minor with the Registrar's Office—we cannot do that for you!

Our undergraduate minor dates back to 2022. While the Center for the Study of Women, Gender and Sexuality is housed in the School of Humanities, we draw on courses from the Schools of Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as other schools when they offer courses that fit our themes.  Minors are welcome, but not required, to participate in the Seminar and Practicum in Engaged Research.

The GA requirements for the SWGS minor may change during a student's time at Rice. Students may choose to construct their degree in accordance with the GA requirements at the time they matriculated or according to the most recent requirements.
