Requirements

Six courses distributed as follows are required for the concentration:

1. An introductory course (including equivalent offerings at Swarthmore College or the University of Pennsylvania).

2. The junior seminar: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Gender & Sexuality (taught in alternate years at Bryn Mawr and Haverford).

3. Four additional approved courses from at least two different departments, two of which are normally at the 300 level. Units of Independent Study (480) may be used to fulfill this requirement.

4. Of the six courses, no fewer than two and no more than three will also form part of the student’s major. Requirements for the minor are identical to those for the concentration, with the stipulation that no Gender & Sexuality courses will overlap with courses taken to fulfill requirements in the student's major.

Neither a senior seminar nor a senior thesis is required for the concentration or minor; however, with the permission of the major department, a student may choose to count toward the concentration a senior thesis with significant content in Gender and Sexuality.

Students wishing to construct an independent major in Gender and Sexuality should contact, at Bryn Mawr, the Undergraduate Dean's Office, and at Haverford the College Committee on Student Standing and Progress (CSSP).
