Gender and Sexuality Studies focuses on the ways in which gender and sexuality function as part of a dynamic system that shapes identity, structures knowledge, and determines the distribution of social and political power.

A total of twenty-four (24) credits as follows:

1. Gender and Sexuality Studies 200. Introduction to Gender and Sexuality Studies.
2. Gender and Sexuality Studies 400. Feminist Theory.
3. Four courses selected from the Gender and Sexuality Studies curriculum.

Two of these courses must come from fields outside of one’s major. A list of GSS-approved courses is updated and circulated every semester. Students with questions are encouraged to contact the program director.

For one of these four courses, students are encouraged to consider an Internship or a Directed Inquiry. In order to receive academic credit for either the Internship or the Directed Inquiry, students must write a proposal, in consultation with a faculty mentor and submit the proposal for approval by the director of Gender and Sexuality Studies.
