Curious. Creative. Transformative.

The Certificate in Women's Studies and Gender Studies is designed for people who want to develop some expertise or credentials in the field but don't want to commit to a M.A. program.

The requirement for the Certificate is 12 credit hours, including:

• WSGS 401: History of Feminist Thought

• WSGS 402: Feminist Methodologies

• two (2) graduate-level WSGS or approved cross-listed courses.

If a Certificate student ultimately chooses to pursue the M.A. in WSGS (or another related graduate degree) at Loyola, credits taken for the Certificate can be rolled over towards completion of the other degree requirements.

Upon completion of the required four courses, students should complete the WSGS Certificate Application Form and submit it to the Graduate Program Director for approval.
