The Department of Social Transformation Studies provides a graduate certificate option for students enrolled in M.A., M.S., Ph.D., or professional programs at Kansas State University, as well as for individuals seeking to earn the certificate separately from a degree program. This 12-credit graduate certificate focuses on gender, women, and sexuality studies, requiring one core course (GWSS 810) along with three additional elective courses at the 600 level or higher from an approved interdisciplinary list.
For current K-State graduate students in master's or doctoral programs, application involves emailing the certificate coordinator with a statement of purpose and copying their major advisor or graduate studies director. Those pursuing the certificate independently should submit an online application through the graduate school. Upon acceptance, all students must consult with the coordinator to select courses that best align with their academic objectives.
