Women's Studies - Atkinson
School of Women's Studies 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 Atkinson, Arts, 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 mini-calendar for further information, available at the school's main office, 206 Founders College, 416-650-8144 (press 1). The undergraduate women's studies curriculum is built around four different kinds of courses. Required Courses
Core Courses The core courses are offered by the School of Women's Studies and, like the required courses, have the second digit five (5) in the course number, e.g. WMST 2500 6.00. Students are required to select between 12 and 24 credits of core courses depending on their degree program. Core courses cover themes deemed essential to women's studies and will explicitly aim to develop critical reading, writing and oral presentation skills, research skills and more advanced research and theoretical skills as appropriate to the course and year level. The required and core courses will:
Non-Core Courses The School of Women's Studies will offer a small number of non-core courses designed to serve a narrower disciplinary focus than the core courses, meet a particular program need (e.g. independent study or special topics courses), or appeal to non-women's studies majors. These courses will have the second digit 8 in the course number, e.g. WMST 4802 3.00. Courses Offered by Other Units Courses offered by other teaching units may be accepted for program credit or cross-listed with the School of Women's Studies. These courses will count towards the major requirements in women's studies. Please consult the School of Women's Studies mini-calendar, available in the school's main office, 206 Founders College, 416-650-8144 (press 1).
