Women's Studies
Classes for Spring 2010
GAH 3202 Gay and Lesbian Literature (Dugan)
The Women’s Studies Program’s discussion series “Wednesdays on Women” is held the first Wednesday of most months when school is in session in J201 from 5:30 – 6:15. (There are no classes during the first half hour and it’s ok if someone has to slip out for a 6:00 p.m. class.) ULTRA credit is available for students, and we can provide you with your students’ names if they are attending for extra credit.
Women's Studies Information
Women’s Studies expands the traditional base of a liberal arts education by focusing on women’s contributions, roles and perspectives that are otherwise omitted from traditional curriculum offerings. Faculty from all schools within the College take a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to the study of gender in Women’s Studies courses offered through both General Studies and degree-granting academic programs. Participation in the program can lead to a minor in Women’s Studies, which is noted on a student’s academic transcript.
All Women’s Studies courses are open to any student at Stockton College.
A minor in Women’s Studies is awarded to those students who complete 20 credits in Women’s Studies, including:
(1) Perspectives on Women, a four-credit course offered every semester, either as GAH 2358 or GSS 2301, that serves as an introduction to the study of women and feminist scholarship, and to the Women’s Studies program;(2) 12 credits of study (three courses), which must come from courses that are approved by the Women’s Studies faculty and based in Feminist theory.
(3) Seminar in Feminist Theory, a capstone experience, (GIS 3614) a 4-credit course in general integration and synthesis that includes the development and presentation of a senior project.
Students who are interested in pursuing a minor in Women’s Studies are asked to contact the coordinator for further information and to inform their preceptors. Students who file an “Intent to Apply for a Minor in Women’s Studies” will automatically become part of a Women’s Studies mailing list.

Course descriptions for the women’s studies offerings listed above appear with other courses of the same acronym in the Bulletin. Not all Women’s Studies courses are included in the list above. Students should work with their preceptor to select from the Women’s Studies offerings each semester.
In addition to the above courses, women’s studies faculty offer a variety of independent studies.
Career preparation for jobs in management, marketing, counseling, teaching, journalism, social work, banking, nursing, health services and government will be enhanced by a women’s studies background because knowledge of special concerns of women will produce more effective performance in these careers.
Experience in women’s studies also provides preparation for employment opportunities such as women’s educational, legal and political projects; work with women’s health collectives, social services and hotlines; women’s career and credit counseling and work with small businesses owned by women.
