I am minoring in Women's Studies: gender and health. I asked for my aacomas primary to be updated with this information, since it was a recent decision to finish the minor, and what they ended up doing was putting "Social Sciences" in the 2nd major category.

I am a little worried because 1- social sciences isnt my minor at all, although that is what WS classes are classified as. and 2-why the hack dont they have womens studies?

Should I leave it as is? or ask them to take it off? I guess if I make sure I mention my minor in womens studies to the schools that should be ok...? 😕

I would try to get it corrected. I needed something corrected and it was actually fairly easy. I emailed them and they said I could change it myself and resubmit. I made the change, hit submit, and then a new copy was sent to schools on Tuesday with a big stripe across the top that said revised and specified what was changed.

They can't put every single major ever on the list. My major was not there either.

This is worrying you? Really? Nobody cares about your minor. And if you are a feminist, hope that they ask you about it and you can segue into how sexist the society is. WIN WIN!

I was worried it would be mis-representative of what I have actually done while in undergrad. Thanks for your input! I didn't realize that Minors were considered so minor 😉 All feedback is useful feedback

Ugh, what a sexist male chauvinist school what doesn't allow for it to be called womyn's studies.

All kidding aside, I bet "social science" is just a banner to encompass all majors/minors under that field which are not on their list. I would still contact them to be sure.

We don't care about minors, or even majors. Your performance in your courses is what counts.
