Requirements
The minor in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Studies requires 18 credits of course work: two lower division core courses (QSX 111 - Queer Histories, Communities, and Politics and QSX 112 - Sexualities, Genders, Bodies ) and four upper division courses approved for the minor. QSX 111 counts towards the social science requirement and QSX 112 counts towards the humanities divisional requirement in the Arts and Sciences Core Curriculum: both QSX 111 and QSX 112 count toward the critical reflections requirement. There are no cluster requirements for students; students may take any of the approved courses or petition to substitute other courses with substantial LGBT content or projects. Currently approved courses include those listed below. Course with partial focus on LGBT content have been marked with an asterisk. No more than two of these courses can be used to fulfill the requirements of the minor.
