Advisor’s Checklist - Women’s Studies BA
(Sample plan for student entering WVU beginning in Aug. 2005)
(note: this checklist only uses the new course numbers. We will provide another one for students who entered before August 2001 that includes the old course numbers. Also, in reviewing these requirements, no courses were double-counted for college and university requirements. Students will gain more flexibility if they double-count the maximum number of requirements as noted below for each requirement and may need more than 128 hours to complete two majors.)

All 21 hours may be courses with a WMST prefix, or a student’s program of study may include approved courses distributed across at least two other units in addition to those with a WMST prefix. These 6 hours may also be courses that students could take to fulfill the requirements of a second major, i.e., in history or English. The Center maintains a list of available courses that students may use for these electives.
Please note that we often add new courses to the curriculum, so check the web site for the most current version of approved courses.
