[email protected] The Gender Studies program offers an interdisciplinary minor in the College of Arts and Sciences at UMass Lowell. Gender Studies may also be taken as a concentration in the Bachelor of Liberal Arts major. The program explores the many ways that ideas about gender increase our knowledge of the world and our experience of everyday life. Fields of study include Art History, Criminal Justice, Economics, English, History, Legal Studies, Music, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. These courses are broadly formulated to examine how gender inequality affects the lives of both men and women and how social constructions of gender shape our lives. These courses examine the contributions that research on gender and feminist scholarship have made to our understanding of social institutions, human behavior, cultural expression and intellectual inquiry. Students who minor in Gender Studies will develop their critical thinking and communication skills as they explore this exciting field by bringing together concepts from a variety of academic disciplines. Minor Course Requirements The Gender Studies minor requires 18 to 24 credits in designated interdisciplinary courses, with six credits taken at the 300 level or above. Gender Studies may also be taken as a concentration in the Bachelor of Liberal Arts major. Students may take courses within their major and designate them for the Gender Studies Minor provided that the total number of credits in their major does not exceed 45 of the 120-credit minimum required for graduation. Gender Studies courses can now be listed under their own designation (GNDR rather than 59). All Gender Studies minors who matriculate by Fall 2011 will be required to take Introduction to Gender Studies.
