A minor from 1st to 2nd year is completed by taking first sequence of 12 pts comprising GND1010 (6pts) and any other 6pt 1st year unit, which for the purpose of this major, is considered to be a first year sequence in Gender Studies. At 2nd year they take units to the value of 12 pts: GND2010 (6pts) and GND2050 (6pts).
A minor from 2nd to 3rd year comprises two 6pt units at 2nd year (e.g. GND2010 and GND2050), and either one 12 point unit (GND3020) or two 6pt units (from GND3080, GND3030, GND2040, CRI3140) at 3rd year.
Major sequence:
Students completing a major in Gender Studies will complete 48 points comprising 36 pts of core Gender Studies units and 12 additional points. The first year sequence of 12pts comprises GND1010 (6pts) plus any other first year unit (6pts) which for the purpose of this major, is considered to be a first year sequence in Gender Studies. Compulsory core units are GND2010/3010 Contemporary Feminist Theory (6pts) and GND2050/GND3050 Sex, Science and the Body (6pts) which can be taken at either second or third year level.
