Online instructors are outstanding campus and community scholars who teach students in this unique learning environment. Many Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies online courses meet university Baccalaureate Core requirements. All can be applied to a liberal studies major, a Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies major, or a Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies minor.
Current Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies courses currently being offered online are listed below.
In addition to all the required courses being offered at least once every year, we offer a variety of electives each term, some of which are exclusively taught online. A few courses are offered each summer term in 4 and 10-week options. Additional online courses are in development.
