Notes

1. All Women’s Studies course work must be completed with a grade of C or higher.
2. Three credits of Multicultural course work and three credits of International course work are required. Courses approved as satisfying these requirements may also satisfy a social sciences, fine arts, or humanities requirement.
3. Students may satisfy up to six credits of the 21 required credits of WMST electives through study abroad. Only courses approved in advance by the chair of Women’s Studies or the undergraduate advisor may be used in fulfillment of requirements for the Women’s Studies major or minor.
4. Students should consult advisers to plan their schedules early in their UNLV careers because most Women’s Studies courses are offered only once annually. WMST 101 and WMST 113 are both pre-requisites for WMST 301 and 302. WMST 301 and 302 are both pre-requisites for WMST 497. If possible, we recommend you plan on taking WMST 301 before taking WMST 302. We also recommend taking WMST 497 immediately after WMST 302: WMST 302 in the Fall of your senior year, and WMST 497 in the Spring of your senior year.
5. Recommended sequence for core major and minor requirements: WMST 101, WMST 113, WMST 301, WMST 302, WMST 497.
