Many FST students obtain double or paired majors in more traditional disciplines, such as English or Anthropology; FST minors may be combined with any major, and are an excellent choice for those students interested in incorporating feminist frameworks into their other academic ventures.

Students who want to bring feminist methodologies, theories, practices, and questions to one of the disciplines, but aren’t able to double-or paired major, may select Feminist Studies as a minor. Students can combine a Feminist Studies minor with any major.
