Depending on course selection, additional coursework may be required prior to enrolling for some 200-level at or above courses.
Graduating Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies majors may apply for graduation with honors in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. To graduate with honors a student must have:
1. Fulfilled the requirements for the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies major
2. Earned a 3.5 grade point average or better in WGS courses
3. Been recommended for Honors by the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Honors Committee. To be recommended, a student must have submitted a proposal for an honors thesis and have completed this thesis to the satisfaction of the Honors Committee.
The honors thesis should be a substantial research paper supervised by a committee of two Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies faculty members. One member of this committee will be the primary supervisor with whom the student will register for up to eight credits of Independent Study. Candidates should ask a Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies faculty member of their choosing to be their primary supervisor. The primary supervisor and the program coordinator will appoint the other member of the candidate’s committee in consultation with the candidate. The thesis submitted need not be a new work; it can be an extension of a paper previously submitted in a course. Theses submitted to the Honors Committee Chair must have the signature of both members of the candidate’s committee on the title page.
Students planning to apply for graduation with honors must submit a one-page proposal for their Honors thesis, signed by the members of their committee, to the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Honors Committee in the final semester of their junior year. Honors thesis for majors graduating in January must be submitted to the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies office (Building 2N, Room 105) by November 20; for majors graduating in June or August, thesis must be submitted by April 1.
