Social Class and Inequality Studies

The minor in Social Class and Inequality Studies is the nation's first degree program focused on social class.  This interdisciplinary minor brings together courses in Women's and Gender Studies and from across the LSA curriculum that address social class as an analytic category and explore the intersections of class with race, gender, and other dimensions of social structure.

Required and elective courses taken together will provide a strong, interdisciplinary understanding of how social class has operated in past cultures, as well as how it operates in the present in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Requirements

This minor requires students to take five courses totalling at least 15 credits. Students are encouraged to consult with a department advisor for additional information.

Prerequisites: none

Minimum Credits: 15
