Women's Studies Degree Requirements
Women's Studies is a multi-disciplinary course of study that fosters
understanding of the ways in which social patterning of female and
male roles impacts on human behavior and on the accumulation of
knowledge. It satisfies the needs of students working in a large
number of disciplines. The Women's Studies major requires 30 hours
of coursework and a second major taken in any discipline offered at
Central Michigan University.
The director of the Women's Studies Program serves as advisor for
all students taking this major or minor.
