The graduate minor program in Feminist and Critical Sexuality Studies is located in the Department of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies (GWSS). The feminist and critical sexuality studies minor is a supplementary program for graduate students already admitted to the University of Minnesota and enrolled in another graduate program. The minor is designed for students with widely flexible interests and academic aims looking for advanced graduate academic training in feminist and critical sexuality studies. The program is also designed to provide an interdisciplinary graduate program in GLBTQ studies. Students must apply for special admission through the Feminist and Critical Sexuality Studies director of Graduate Studies.

Prerequisites for Admission
Special Application Requirements:
Students must apply to the feminist and critical sexuality studies minor for admission by submitting a letter of interest to the director of graduate studies that demonstrates a clear relationship between the focus and objectives of their doctoral research and the goals, curriculum, and scholarly resources of the minor.
Since the emphasis of the graduate minor is interdisciplinary, a focus or strong interest in such work is preferred.
A prerequisite undergraduate major or minor in gender, women and/or GLBTQ/sexuality studies is not required for admission, but preferable. Applicants are expected to demonstrate general knowledge of this relevant scholarship in some combination of previous coursework, research and writing, and/or organizational activity/experience.
