A student who majors in Gender and Sexuality Studies must also choose a concentration in any other department within the College of Arts and Science.

The Gender and Sexuality Studies major requires 48 points (12 courses). These include 32 points in Gender and Sexuality Studies and 16 points in the student's departmental concentration. Because 8 of these points may overlap (V97.0021 Sex and Gender, for instance, may count toward both the Gender and Sexuality Studies major and a concentration in Sociology), some students will complete the major with 40 points.

All majors must complete V97.0010 Approaches to Gender and Sexuality Studies (or an approved substitution course). Because of the interdisciplinary nature of scholarship, remaining Gender and Sexuality electives must be drawn from at least three different departments. 

To declare a major in Gender and Sexuality Studies, come to 41-51 East 11th Street, 7th Floor (between University Place and Broadway). Go to cubicle 727E. Obtain a Major/Minor Declaration Form and follow the instructions on the form. You will have to meet with an advisor in order to approve the declaration.
