WGS courses taken at Hostos Community College will apply to Women’s Studies or Women’s and Gender Studies programs at any of five senior colleges: Hunter College, John Jay, Lehman College, Queens College and York College. As of 2017, we have a special articulation with Hunter College’s Women’s and Gender Studies Department which allows students to begin their studies at Hunter while at Hostos and to seamlessly transfer Hostos WGS courses immediately to the major or the minor at Hunter College. Hunter College has a full fledged WGS department with hundreds of courses to choose from in fulfilling the major or minor.
At Hostos, we offer an A.A. in Liberal Arts with an option in Women’s and Gender Studies.
Women’s and Gender Studies Courses at Hostos can include:
• Introduction to Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS 100) • Gender and Work (WGS 200)
• Women and Religious Experience (WGS 201)
