The undergraduate minor in gender, women's, and sexuality studies (GWSS) requires a minimum of 15 s.h. of coursework, including at least 12 s.h. completed at the University of Iowa. Students must maintain a grade-point average of at least 2.00 in all courses for the minor and in all UI courses for the minor. Coursework for the minor may not be taken pass/nonpass.

Students must take GWSS:1001 Introduction to Gender, Women's, and Sexuality Studies and 12 s.h. in GWSS courses numbered 2000 or above. However, they may also count GWSS:1002 Diversity and Power in the U.S. toward the 12 s.h. requirement. 

Students may count a maximum of 3 s.h. from another University of Iowa major, minor, or certificate toward the GWSS minor.

CLAS minors may only be earned concurrent with or subsequent to earning a University of Iowa bachelor's degree. They cannot be granted as standalone credentials or as the sole program of study completed at the University of Iowa.
