Graduate Certificate in Women's Studies

 

A Graduate Certificate in Women’s Studies is available to eligible graduate students who successfully complete four graduate courses in Women’s Studies. “Successful completion” means a grade of B or higher in each. Two of those must be WSt 8001, WSt 8002, WSt 8003, or WSt 8004. The other two courses must be drawn from courses bearing a WSt prefix, and only one course can originate from the student's home department.

Student Eligibility:

All students seeking the WSI Graduate Certificate must submit a formal application through the Office of Graduate Studies of the College of Arts and Sciences. Students may apply online or submit a paper application. Applications are accepted three times per year: July 1 (for Fall semester), November 15 (for Spring semester), and May 1 (for Summer semester). The following individuals are eligible:

  • Students who are enrolled in an M.A. or Ph.D. program in another department or institute at Georgia State University -- such students must apply, but existing materials on file can be used for the application and the application fee will be waived;
  • Students in the Women's Studies Institute M.A. degree program who are unable to complete the program and who have completed the requisite coursework -- such students must submit a short application available from the Graduate Studies office and pay the requisite fee;
  • Students who apply only for the Graduate Certificate in Women's Studies -- such students must submit a complete application and pay the requisite fee.
