Ph.D. Minor in Human Sexuality

This minor is co-directed by the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction and the Interdepartmental Graduate Committee on Human Sexuality. The Human Sexual­ity Program offers a doctoral minor of 15 credits from related interdisciplinary subject areas. It is intended for students currently enrolled in a doctoral program, such as counseling, education, health behavior, psychology, or sociology. Students should select an advisor for this minor from members of the Interdepartmental Graduate Committee, listed above, or from affiliated faculty. One core course is required, with the remain­ing hours being selected, upon consent of the student’s minor area faculty advisor, from other courses that have a major em­phasis on sexuality and/or gender (example courses are listed below). The program provides a basic yet broad overview of human sexuality. The behavioral, biological, cultural, and social components of sexuality are examined, including the study of the role of sexuality in the arts and public policy. The program will be particularly useful for persons entering fields involving the social and behavioral sciences, education, health science and medicine, counseling and therapy, nursing, social work, humanities, criminal justice, and public policy.
