glbt minor
through gender, women, & sexuality studies

The GLBT Studies Minor focuses on history, politics, and cultures of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered persons. Courses are designed to help students explore the diversity of GLBT communities, the history and present conditions of sexual identity formation, and the functioning and institutionalization of ideologies of sexuality in a democratic society. The undergraduate minor degree program in GLBT studies will be offered through the Department of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies, a department committed to the critical examination of gender and sexuality for 30 years.

The minor will consist of GLBT 1001 (3 credits) and an additional 15 upper division credits, to include two core courses and at least three electives. Core courses will focus materials on issues relating to the history, culture, social and political formations, and experiences of GLBT people.

There are three core classes and three electives for a total of 18 credits.
