    Undergraduate Minor Requirements

    Minoring in Sexuality Studies

    The minor in sexuality studies coordinates scholars and students from a wide range of disciplines to study, teach, and create knowledge about human sexuality in its myriad functions and forms. The minor consists of five courses, of which one must be the core course, WMST 111. The four other courses required for the minor must involve work in at least three different departments or curricula. As an example, a minor in sexuality studies could be constructed from WMST 111, AMST 269, HIST 358, HIST 467, and WMST 101, for a minimum of 15 hours from at least three departments or curricula.

    Graduate courses

    UNC–CH does not currently offer a graduate Certificate in Sexuality Studies and these courses are not open to undergraduates. The Program lists these courses as a service to interested graduate students:

    • WMST 790: Graduate Seminar in Women’s Studies. Silva Tomaskova. Explores the complex interaction between Women’s Studies, Feminist Studies and Gender Studies as these fields have evolved within and across academic disciplines, intersecting with issues of race, class, ethnicity, masculinity, sexual orientation and with practices of queer theory and cultural studies.
    • WMST 858/COMM 858: Seminar in Feminist Studies of Film and Television. This graduate seminar will explore theoretical and practical points of contact between feminism, film and television using psychoanalysis, narrative analysis, ideological analysis, and cultural studies.
