Subplans
FGSS majors have the option of declaring a formal subplan or of designing an individualized thematic focus. Subplans are noted on student transcripts and diplomas; individually designed thematic foci are not noted on the transcript or diploma. The following are the four formal subplans:
Humanities and Arts Subplan
The Humanities and Arts subplan centers the arts, history, literature, language, media, and performance in the analysis of how ideas about feminism, gender, and sexuality are developed, produced, and experienced alongside other categories of difference.

Guven, K. (TA)
Law and Social Sciences Subplan
The Law and Social Sciences subplan investigates how gender, sex, and sexuality and other categories of embodied difference are studied, regulated, and experienced in economics, politics, education, public policy, and the law.
LGBTQ+ Studies Subplan
The LGBTQ+ Studies subplan focuses on the histories, practices, and theories of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer identities and communities through multidisciplinary study.
