Gender and Health Minor

The Gender and Health minor allows students to focus on gender and health across a variety of disciplinary perspectives, all through a critical, feminist lens. Students develop analytical skills as they explore how gender and conceptualizations of health, health care, and health policy intersect. Coursework covers a range of topics, allowing students to engage critically with both domestic and transnational issues while developing nuanced perspectives about the biomedical and social dimensions of health. 

Requirements

To complete the Gender and Health minor, students are required  to take five courses totaling at least 15 credits. Please see purple bars below with links to the courses that count for this minor in the blue column. Please consult the worksheet for the Gender and Health minor.  Interested students should make an appointment with a department advisor to discuss and possibly declare the minor.
