Did you know that Feminist Studies majors can get FMST credit from Study Abroad courses?

Feminist Studies majors are strongly encouraged to consider enriching their time at UCSC with Study Abroad opportunities. International classes are an exciting chance to broaden and deepen your feminist education by bringing questions around gender, sexuality, and social justice into dialog with different regions, nations, and cultures around the world.

Are you interested in studying in Australia, Botswana, Brazil, or the Czech Republic? Check out the list of FMST-approved Study Abroad classes offered at colleges around the globe. This list is being updated with more approved courses from more countries on an ongoing basis, so be sure to keep checking back! 

Students can use up to three approved Study Abroad courses to fulfill Feminist Studies upper division elective requirements. Review the Feminist Studies major requirements here, and refer to these two- and four- year academic planners for examples of how to incorporate international classes into your UCSC curriculum.
