The Department of Gender and Women’s Studies, in conjunction with partners across the campus, is excited to offer the undergraduate sexuality studies certificate. The certificate encompasses scientific and medical fields as well as humanities and social sciences, and encourages the study of sexuality transhistorically and crossculturally. The goal of offering the certificate is two-fold: both to train students for fields in which knowledge of diverse perspectives on sexuality is important -- including health-related fields, human resources-related fields, and international scholarship or business -- and to provide students with an opportunity for transformative exploration of the relationship between sexuality and society.Offering courses from different departments and colleges within the university system, this certificate models true interdisciplinary study and addresses the social, medical, and historical aspects of sexual health, identities, and subcultures.
