Concentration
The Concentration in Women's Studies is designed for students who, in addition to the
focus of their major program of study, are seeking a fuller understanding of the ways in
which gender and other constructs have shaped our understanding of ourselves and of the
communities and world in which we live. The concentration in women’s studies consists
of at least three women’s studies classes, many of which are cross- listed.
Introduction to Women's and Gender Studies is required. This class is offered each
semester and is a HASS-D, category 4 class, with CI designation.
Only one of the subjects taken towards the concentration may be a HASS-D subject counted
towards the HASS-Distribution requirement. Concentration proposal and completion forms
are available in the Program office, 14E-316. Students who minor in Women's Studies do
not have to complete a separate concentration, but must still fill out concentration
proposal and completion forms. The concentration should be selected before the third
year.
Students interested in a concentration in Women's Studies should consult with the
Women's Studies Coordinator (womens-studies@mit.edu), and then arrange a meeting with
the current Director.
