Academic Programs
Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of Chicago encompasses diverse disciplines, modes of inquiry, and objects of knowledge. As the Center continually seeks to meet the needs of interested students, there are a number of options for undergraduate and graduate students to incorporate the study of gender and sexuality into their curriculum.
Undergraduates can choose to complete a major or minor in Gender and Sexuality Studies, while graduate students who have completed the required course work, written a research paper or thesis chapter, and participated in the Gender and Sexuality Studies Workshop will earn a Graduate Certificate. We sponsor workshops, lectures and symposia of interest to undergraduate and graduate students. We also encourage and support grad student initiatives for conferences and speakers, as well as student participation in the governance of the Center. When funding is available we are happy to assist graduate research.
