Undergraduate Minor Options
The same discipline may not be used to satisfy the major and the minor (i.e. English major and English minor does not make a degree.) If a course is a requirement of both the major and the minor, a student may use the course to meet both content requirements but will not receive double credit and will need advisor approval for a course substitution. A minimum of six credits must be taken at UAS.

GENDER STUDIES
This minor is designed to provide a broad understanding of how gender is constructed within different historical, social, and cultural contexts. Students will learn how gender intersects with other systems of social difference, such as age, identity, sexuality, ethnicity, race and class. They will acquire the knowledge base required for the advanced study of gender and enhance their critical thinking skills.
