This standalone interdisciplinary initiative aims to expand and enhance academic pursuits for graduate students in master's or PhD programs. The certificate allows those passionate about feminist research to follow a structured, comprehensive curriculum in this field, certifying their expertise for roles demanding such knowledge. Graduates will gain skills to apply feminist viewpoints within their primary disciplines, thereby contributing to feminist theory and scholarship.
The program immerses students in the dynamic realm of feminist studies while encouraging them to incorporate feminist frameworks into their specialized research. Focusing on intersectional approaches, the curriculum fosters feminist theoretical development, analytical abilities, and research methodologies, highlighting the interconnectedness of race, class, gender, and sexuality from both domestic and international viewpoints.

Qualification Requirements
Many students apply to the certificate program having already begun coursework, but we strongly encourage applying early. A maximum of two courses completed prior to acceptance can be applied towards the certificate, including those taken in the spring of application. Because the application process occurs annually in the spring, it is highly recommended that interested students apply early in their coursework. This requirement is meant to engage them early in the intellectual life of the program. If there are extenuating circumstances that require a student to count more than two courses that were taken before acceptance into the program, please explain these and they will be taken into consideration. However, we cannot guarantee that all previous courses will be counted without compelling reasons.
