Courses in this 12-credit certificate will focus on an understanding of the biocultural interrelatedness of sex, gender and sexual orientation, interrogating the ways in which biological aspects of sexuality and gender are imbued with social meanings and institutionalized within a variety of public and private sectors of society.

Courses taken for this certificate may also count towards the Anthropology, Africana World Studies, English, History, Public Health, Philosophy, Psychology or Women & Gender Studies majors or minors.
