Course Requirements

Six courses (18 credit hours) are required for the Diploma. All students must take the program’s required courses in their first year. In addition, students select electives at the 500 level from a selected list. Of these four courses, one 400 level courses may be considered for credit. A maximum of one course may be taken from other related areas at the 500 level with the approval of the Graduate Advisory Committee.

The diploma option allows students to pursue a disciplinary MA at AUC and at the same time acquire gender studies qualifications.
