The Graduate Option in Gender and Women's Studies (GWS) provides graduate students, obtaining degrees in a variety of participating departments and faculties, with a cross-disciplinary specialization in feminist, women's and gender studies. This program is open to graduate students at McGill University enrolled in a department that has approved the Option. Students who pursue this option obtain a graduate degree in their own department as well as an “Option / Concentration” in Gender and Women’s Studies (GWS), if the Option has been approved by the given department. Thus, the Graduate Option in Gender and Women’s Studies (GWS) will appear on a student’s transcript along with the designated graduate degree (MA or PhD).
For doctoral students, the Graduate Option is comprised of 9 credits consisting of two required courses, WMST 601 Feminist Theories and Methods (3 credits), WMST 602 Feminist Research Symposium (3 credits) and one other course chosen from a list of interdisciplinary complementary courses (3 credits). |
