Senior Capstone Experience Prerequisites
The Senior Capstone Experience will be open to
students who have declared a WS minor, and have
completed all the core requirements, i.e. WS 100, WS
301, and WS/CS 306 or WS/CS 401. Note: it is
preferred that this capstone experience be taken in the
senior year, after all other WS minor requirements
have been met.
Advising
Students should contact any Women’s Studies
instructor, or the Women’s Studies Coordinator, or any
member of the Women’s Studies Coordinating
Committee, by calling 549-2143.
Cross Listing
Most Women’s Studies courses are cross-listed,
meaning that the courses can be found in the course
listings of both the Women’s Studies program and one
or more other departments. This is indicated above, for
example, as “WS/PSYCH 212, Sexism and Racism in
America,” indicating that the course is listed as both a
Women’s Studies course and a Psychology course.
The courses can be taken by enrolling in either a
Women’s Studies call number or in another department’s
call number. To encourage breadth, students
are required to choose electives in different crosslisted
disciplines, with no more than two of their
electives being cross-listed in the same department
(for example, Psychology). A course taken for the
Senior Capstone Experience may not be cross-listed.
Grades below a C will not be accepted in classes
counting toward the minor.
Senior Capstone Experience
(through WS 490, 492, 493, 494, or 498)
The Senior Capstone Experience allows the student to
bring together women’s studies disciplinary knowledge
with 1) the major; 2) some other disciplinary perspective;
or 3) a practical problem. The expectation is that
in taking WS 490, 494, or 498 for the senior experience,
the student will apply women’s studies in a
community-based setting. In certain cases, if the
student’s proposal is to combine the WS minor with the
major, and the best option for that major is a 492
research project, the 492 may be approved, but only
with the condition that the student present the research
in a public forum to meet the practical application
component.
