Elective Courses
Each year, before fall and spring registration take place, a list of Gender and Sexuality Studies electives that count toward the certificate is posted. An archive of past courses is also available.
For graduate students already enrolled in other New School graduate programs:
- Up to two electives may come from your home department or program.
- At least one elective must come from another department or college at The New School.
- No more than 9 credits can count toward both your degree and the certificate.
For graduate students enrolled directly in the certificate program:
- Electives must come from at least two different departments at The New School.
Certificate Completion
During or after the semester in which you complete your certificate course requirements, you should make an appointment to meet with one of the GSS co-directors. You must bring with you a completed exit form and an unofficial transcript to demonstrate your successful completion of the course sequence.
Following the successful completion of all these requirements, the co-director will confirm your qualifications in scholarship in gender and sexuality studies. Your graduate certificate will appear on your final transcript and your degree from The New School.
