The Queer Studies minor requires the completion of 18 hours of classes, including GWST 2000 - Introduction to LGBTQ/NS Studies and nine or more credits at the 3000-level or above. Each semester, students, in consultation with a queer studies advisor, will choose elective courses. A capstone project or internship is required but can be variable and determined in consultation with an advisor.
An interdisciplinary, independent Queer Studies advisory committee advises the program on curriculum, scheduling and coordination. A faculty advisor is assigned to the student on declaration of the minor.

Rachel Watson, Director Queer Studies, Chemistry
