GRADUATE
CERTIFICATE IN WOMEN'S STUDIES
Any
student admitted to a graduate
degree program at
West Virginia University may earn a Graduate Certificate in Women's
Studies. The graduate certificate will consist of 15 hours of
graduate-level work in women's studies, using those courses approved by the
women's studies curriculum committee as primary or component courses for the
program. Component courses are those where at least one-third of the course
content deals with women's/gender issues and where students have the option to
focus assignments on women's/gender issues. Students must show that they
did, in fact, focus their assignments in those areas for the course to count for
this certificate. The program is also open to WVU alumni and graduate students with the credential
earned being a Graduate Certificate in Women's Studies.
A Women's Studies-Directed Master of Arts
in Liberal Studies (M.A.L.S.) is also available. (Click here for more
information.) Students are advised to design an
individual program that may focus on an area of concentration such as Feminist
Thought or Women's Health and Sexuality.
