Gender Studies majors may, by applying to the departmental undergraduate advisor, exercise the option of having up to 6 credit hours at the 200-and/or 300-level courses counted from among relevant courses, including topics courses, offered by other departments. Gender Studies minors are allowed to substitute 3 credit hours of course work. Courses may be judged relevant if both title and content substantially address gender-related issues and/or analysis.
