on their Ph.D. degree in one of the following fields: Anthropology, History,
History of Consciousness, Literature, Politics, Psychology, and Sociology.

to begin the application process in their first or second year. The following procedures are required for the
parenthetical notation: 1. Committee Composition
The student must have a designated graduate advisor from among the Feminist
Studies core, associate, or affiliated faculty who commits to serve on
the qualifying exam committee or in some other appropriate capacity. 2. Writing
The student must prepare a significant piece of writing in the area of
feminist studies. This writing may be a master's essay or
doctoral dissertation
chapter. A copy of the approved dissertation or master’s essay
must be submitted to the department by the end of the quarter in which
the
student announces candidacy for graduation. 3. Course Requirements
The student must take four graduate courses in women's studies/feminist
studies. Courses may be selected from among the graduate offerings of
any UCSC department. An annually updated list of regularly offered, approved
graduate courses is available from the Feminist Studies office. 4. Teaching

Studies course or teach a Feminist Studies course independently in
the
regular curriculum or in summer session; i.e., a course designated "FMST."
