Certificate of Graduate Study
Course work leading to the certificate of graduate study in law and women’s studies permits study of the intersection of gender and the law through a systematic engagement with feminist theory, scholarship on women and gender, and legal scholarship. Completion of the certificate requirements results in recognition on the student’s transcript. The certificate is available to students in good standing in the College of Law or in any graduate program in the university. Students-at-large in good standing may also pursue the certificate. Faculty who regularly teach courses which contribute to the certificate come from a variety of departments and colleges.
Students interested in pursuing this certificate are advised to consult with the director of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies or the associate dean of the College of Law as early as possible in their graduate program to determine the program of courses to be used toward the certificate.
