The Minor

Requirements

The minor in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Studies offers students the opportunity to study sexuality from a variety of cultural and disciplinary perspectives meant to engage students in some of the most cutting-edge research in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer studies. In addition, seniors in the minor are expected to do a capstone internship in an international, national, or community organization, thereby acquiring invaluable firsthand knowledge, experience, and data. After completing the minor, students should be familiar with the theoretical tools that different disciplines employ to study sexuality. They should be acquainted with some of the many different ways sexuality has been organized in the past and is organized in different cultures in the present and should have an enhanced understanding and appreciation both of the sexual diversity of the world in which they live and of the complex ways in which sexuality intersects with other categories of identity and practice.

Students may petition to apply one non-listed course to the minor if they can show that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer issues represent a significant part (at least 25 percent) of the course content. Students are strongly urged to keep in close contact with the student services adviser, who can help them plan their course of study. 
A minimum of 20 units applied toward the minor requirements must be in addition to units applied toward major requirements or another minor. 
Each minor course must be taken for a letter grade, and students must have an overall grade-point average of 2.0 or better in the minor. Successful completion of the minor is indicated on the transcript and diploma.

To enter the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Studies minor, students must have an overall grade-point average of 2.0 or better.
