Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies Minor
|
|
The minor consists of a minimum of 5 full courses (or the equivalent).
Note: Students must earn minimum grades of C- or P for all courses that apply toward the minor.
 View the catalog page for the gender, sexuality, and feminist studies program.
The gender, sexuality, and feminist studies (GSFS) minor provides students with methodological, theoretical, and research training in the field.
|
Note(s) on Requirements
- The required gateway course must be taken at Oberlin.
- Of the five required courses, no more than three may come from one department.
- No more than one course at the 100-level may count toward the minor.
Transfer of Credit Toward the Minor
The gender, sexuality, and feminist studies program will accept up to the equivalent of one full course of transfer credit to count toward the gender, sexuality, and feminist studies minor requirements. Two types of approval are needed. (1) Approval from the Office of the Registrar that the transfer course meets Oberlin’s transfer-of-credit eligibility standards and (2) approval from the department/program chair that the course(s) may count to the minor. Current students taking post-matriculation credit must secure this approval before registering for course(s). Students who enter Oberlin as transfer students will have their pre-matriculation credit evaluated by the Office of the Registrar for elective credit, and they can later seek approval from the department/program for applying coursework to minor requirements.
