WS 100 - WOMEN’S STUDIES |

Women’s Studies 100 is an interdisciplinary course
designed to introduce students to the study of women
in global cultures as portrayed through literature and
sociological studies. Topics to be covered include the
women’s movement, sexuality, “herstory”, gender
roles, philosophy and law.

Prerequisites: English 12 with a grade of “C” or better or
written permission of the Instructor and School Chair.

WS 101 - WOMEN’S STUDIES II

A continuation of Women’s Studies 100, WS 101 is
an interdisciplinary course designed to expand on
the study of women in global cultures as portrayed
through literature and sociological studies; however,
students do not need WS 100 as a prerequisite.
Topics to be covered include women and religion,
violence, health and reproductive technologies, and
inequality in paid and unpaid labour.

Prerequisites: English 12 with a grade of “C” or better or
written permission of the Instructor and School Chair.

Admission Requirements

Admission to the program requires the completion

of English 12 with a grade of “C” or better or written
permission of the instructor and School Chair. Other
prerequisites depend on the electives chosen to
complete the program and should be determined with
the advice of a Selkirk College counsellor.

If you are a student who lacks the admission
requirements, you may still gain entry to the program
by taking a combination of upgrading and university
courses in your first year. This may extend the length
of your program.
