Introduction

Graduate students may work toward a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree that notes a designated emphasis in feminist studies on the graduation documents. Students wishing to pursue this option should consult with the chair of their respective Ph.D. program and are encouraged to apply in the first or second year of graduate study. The application and an annually updated list of regularly offered, approved graduate courses are available at the Feminist Studies website.

Requirements

The following are required for the designated emphasis:

Committee Composition and Departmental Approvals

The student must have a designated graduate adviser from the feminist studies core faculty who serves on the qualifying examination committee or in some other appropriate capacity.

Course Requirements

The student must take four graduate courses in feminist studies, two of which must be taught directly in the department. Two courses can be selected from among the graduate offerings of any UC Santa Cruz department, as long as they are taught by core or affiliated feminist studies faculty.
