The Lesbian and Gay Studies Program and Minor

The Lesbian and Gay Studies Program offers courses across the liberal arts disciplines that address lesbian, gay, and bisexual concerns. The program is designed to allow students to focus on issues like theories of sexual orientation, the history of the gay movement, AIDS, queer theory, and the lesbian/gay artist and writer.

Minor in Lesbian/Gay Studies
Students majoring in any discipline may pursue this minor by completing five courses, as follows:

  1. GND 1015/Introduction to Lesbian/Gay Studies
  2. Plus four courses selected after consultation with a member of the Gender Studies Board of Study. These courses should represent an interdisciplinary approach to the area.

An internship is strongly recommended. All students must submit a completed Application for a Program of Minor Study.
