The Women's Studies Program offers interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate courses on a variety of topics. The program also cross-lists approximately 12 graduate courses and 30 undergraduate courses each semester during Fall, Spring, and Summer Terms. Women's Studies accepts courses sponsored by individual departments within the University; course offerings are subject to change from term to term.
Interested students should come to the program office to schedule an appointment with an advisor, or should contact the Director, Women's Studies Program; 2632 Cathedral of Learning; University of Pittsburgh; Pittsburgh, PA 15260; phone: (412) 624-6485; E-mail: womnst+@pitt.edu; Web site: http://www.pitt.edu/~womnst/index.html.
Certificate Program
For a master's-level certificate in Women's Studies, four courses counting toward a graduate degree either offered by or cross-listed with the Women's Studies Program are required. At least one of these courses must be outside the certificate candidate's major discipline, and candidates should take at least two courses in one field. No more than one course may be independent study or directed reading. Candidates must have at least a 3.00 average in the four courses. For a PhD-level certificate, six courses counting toward a graduate degree either offered by or cross-listed with the Women's Studies Program are required. [Note: Students will be advised to select courses cross-listed with Women's Studies, but individuals may petition to have accepted unlisted graduate courses with a considerable Women's Studies component or a major project in Women's Studies.] No more than two courses may be independent studies or directed readings. Candidates must have at least a 3.00 average in the six courses. Certificate candidates on both the master's and PhD levels must submit a research paper to be read by two faculty designated by the Women's Studies' Steering Committee.
Directed Study
Because Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary academic field, opportunities
for innovative research are especially challenging. Students are encouraged
to do research on special topics or other projects in a directed study course.
