LGBT Studies (CERT)
The LGBT Studies Certificate program seeks to increase understanding and appreciation of the social, historical, and cultural contributions of the LGBTQ+ community. Students will learn the terminology utilized within the academic area of queer studies, and identify the differences between sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. The program also promotes understanding of the intersections of LGBTQ+ identities with those of race, ethnicity, class, and age, among others. Students will also learn about LGBTQ+ individuals, their contributions to U.S. and international cultures, both historical and current, and their struggles and achievements toward equal rights.
