For a complete list of all WGS courses and their attributes, pre-requisites, and other information, please go to the Course Bulletin page.

Located in Humanities 316, this space is usually available for study groups and small social gatherings, Monday-Thursday 9-5.

The resource room also has a refreshed (non-circulating) library, with many current course texts and books of interest to WGS students. Browse the complete WGS library.
