LGBT/Queer Studies Interdisciplinary Minor
Eligibility
Undergraduate students in any college of the university may elect to complete an interdisciplinary minor in LGBT/Queer Studies.
Note: Due to the similarity in the curriculum, GWS Majors and Minors can not earn a minor in LGBT/Queer Studies. GWS majors and minors may, however, use required and elective LGBT/Queer Studies as part of their coursework. GWS minors may elect to drop the minor in GWS and add the minor in LGBT/Queer Studies.
