Gender and Sexuality Studies Minor

The College of Arts and Sciences minor in Gender and Sexuality Studies seeks to provide students with an understanding of gender’s centrality to culture using interdisciplinary approaches. Gender and Sexuality Studies examines gender across cultures and historical periods while inquiring into the ways these concepts are represented in various forms, including popular culture, the media, literature, and the arts. A minor in Gender and Sexuality Studies can serve as a useful basis complement for students in Anthropology and Sociology, Communication, Criminal Justice, Social Sciences, English, History, Media Studies, Theatre and Performance Studies, Psychology, Business and Public Administration, Social Work, and Interdisciplinary Studies.
