Affiliates of the Women's and Gender Studies program can apply to cross-list courses regularly taught in their home departments. Cross-listing courses helps build the undergraduate and graduate minors, and the presence of women's and gender studies minors in your classroom helps increase diversity of experiences and perspectives expressed in the course.
Please submit requests to cross-list courses to the director of the Women's and Gender Studies program via email. Include a full syllabus that includes information on textbooks and readings, assignments and exams, and a schedule of lecture and discussion topics. The syllabus should be at a stage of development similar to what one would submit to department, college and university curriculum committees for approval.
The Women's and Gender Studies Executive Committee will review your submission and vote on approval. The director will notify you of the committee's decision. In general, the committee is looking for 40% of course content to be related to women's and gender issues. This content can be achieved through lecture and discussion topics, readings, assignments, research papers and more. If you have an open-ended research topic, for instance, the committee might ask that you require a women's- or gender-related topic for students taking the course for women's and gender studies credit.
Please include the following statement on the syllabi of your cross-listed courses:
