Gender Studies Minor

The Gender Studies minor offers an interdisciplinary approach to the social and cultural construction of gender. The minor draws its 21 course cr from all departments at Millikin University to investigate multiple ways sexuality and gender roles operate in social, economic, cultural and/or political contexts. In studying a range of disciplinary conventions and standards, students learn about how gender affects human activities across different areas of knowledge.

1. Analyze the historical and critical concepts of sexuality and gender.
2. Apply gender-based knowledge and/or theory as a tool for research, creative production, clinical practice, and/or practices of social change.

A list of courses approved for the Gender Studies minor is available each semester.
