Women's Studies - Arts The School of Women's Studies offers a consolidated undergraduate program which brings together the Women's Studies Programs from the Faculties of Arts, Atkinson and Glendon. This merged undergraduate program provides students with increased flexibility and access to a greater number and variety of women's studies courses. Courses offered through the School of Women's Studies will count as in-Faculty courses for Arts, Atkinson and Glendon students, and will be offered during the day and evening on both the Keele campus and the Glendon campus. Please consult the School of Women's Studies supplemental calendar for further information, available at the school's main office, 206 Founders College, 416-650-8144 (press 1).

These courses will have the second digit 8 in the course number, e.g. WMST 4801 3.00. 4.
