Courses approved by the Women's and Gender Studies Programs offer students an opportunity to study gender, sex, or sexuality in different disciplines. WGST-approved courses must have 50% of their content related to gender, sex, or sexuality.


Syllabus, Assignments and Practices as Evidence of Student Action Steps: Upload your course syllabus below. WGST-approved courses must demonstrate how students will achieve learning outcomes through their syllabi and assignments. Your syllabus must include a complete schedule of readings and two assignment prompts (assignments may be placed in the box below if not embedded in the syllabus). Be sure that your syllabus clearly indicates the content related to gender, sex, and sexuality and the selected learning outcomes. A list of chapter numbers and page numbers often obscures content for non-specialists. Themes and unit titles can help. A submission will not be approved if the syllabus does not clearly indicate to non-specialists through detailed explanation that 50% of course content relates to gender, sex, or sexuality.
