At Jefferson

Women and Gender Studies Certificate: 

The 12-hour certificate in Women's & Gender Studies includes two core courses of HIS 265 plus  WGS 200 or WGS 201,  and then two electives.   All courses for the certificate are general education and are already part of an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science. That means you don't need to take anything extra for the WGS cert--careful and purposeful advising is all you need. 

Contact Professor Jill Adams for advising, questions, or getting involved in gender/human rights groups and issues.
