The Women's Studies Program provides an interdisciplinary undergraduate curriculum designed to give students the theoretical bases and methodological skills necessary for analyzing the historical, social, cultural, economic, and political contexts that influence women's lives. The program has four main aims: To instruct students in the rapidly expanding scholarship on women and gender; To explore the multicultural and international contexts of women's lives; To introduce students to the social, cultural, economic, and political contributions of women to the societies in which they live; and To explore with students their individual investments in issues of gender - past, present. and future - with an intellectually coherent curriculum. In keeping with the interdisciplinary nature of the Women's Studies Program, its faculty come from many Departments in the University, including: Africana Studies, Anthropology, Art History, Communications, English, German and Slavic Studies, History, Romance Languages and Literatures, Psychology, and Sociology. Courses in the curriculum focus on women in the multi-cultural United States, as well as in the countries across the globe. In addition to its interdisciplinary courses, the Program also gives credit for specific courses that are cross-listed with or offered in each of these departments. The Program offers both an undergraduate co-major (32 credits) and a minor (18 credits).  Students wishing to pursue a co-major or minor in Women's Studies should meet with the program director for advice on their program.    Co-Major and Minors Degrees in Women's Studies    Staff and Classes Offered    Women's Studies Schedule of Classes    Link to Women's Resources on the Net For additional information please contact: Dr. Jennifer Sheridan-Moss, Director  Women's Studies Program Wayne State University 5057 Woodward, Suite 12100.3 Detroit, Michigan   48202 Telephone - (313) 577-6331 Email: aa2191@wayne.edu Disclaimers and WSU's Policy on Acceptable Use of Information Technology Resources.
