Rutgers is unusual in offering both a graduate certificate in
women's and gender studies and Ph.D. concentrations on women and gender
in several major disciplines: anthropology, English, history, political science, and sociology. Students in a graduate program with a
women's and gender studies track and those whose programs lack a
women's and gender studies area can take a special concentration in
women's and gender studies as part of their regular, advanced-degree
program. Upon receiving that advanced degree, these students also will
get a graduate certificate in women's and gender studies. The special
requirements for the certificate, many of which also may be used to
satisfy the student's graduate degree requirements, are as follows: one
feminist theory course and two 988 (women's and gender studies)
courses.
