WHAT PROGRAM CAN I DOUBLE MAJOR WITH MAS? The programs below are degrees that have an active agreement with MAS that allow double dipping of credits and/or courses that will satisfy degree requirements.

Students who wish to pursue the MAS/GWS double major can double-dip up to 12 units (4 courses) from the following courses to satisfy requirements from both majors:

  • MAS/GWS 201 Introduction to Chicana/Latina Studies
  • MAS 307 Chicana Feminisms: History, Theory and Practice
  • MAS/GWS 365 Latinos & Latinas: Emerging Contemporary Issues
  • MAS/GWS 358 U.S. 3rd World Feminisms: Theory, History & Practice
  • MAS 415 Chicana/o Literary & Historical Recovery Projects
  • MAS/GWS 470 The Feminization of Migration: Global Perspectives

The student will still need to fulfill all the core and area distribution requirements for both majors.
