Nine of these credits must come from the following four WGSS courses:

• WGSS 610 - Faculty Seminar Series Credits: 1

Notes:

Remaining credits will be drawn from a list of courses approved by the women’s studies graduate advisor (currently Dr. Mire Koikari). All students will work with a specific advisor to develop an AdWGSS Certificate curriculum based on their academic majors that best supports their academic and professional goals and objectives. Up to 6 credits towards the certificate may be taken in the student’s home department provided that department’s curriculum includes courses approved by women’s studies.

Each student enrolled in the AdWGSS Certificate program will design, develop, and complete a research and/or community involvement project to culminate in a publishablequality work or comparable product, and a professional quality seminar presentation given in the student’s final semester of the program.
