Sexuality, Gender, and Identity Studies Minor

Identity is personal — but it’s also shaped by the world around us. Housed in the Department of Psychology within the School of Social Sciences and Education, this new minor examines how social, physiological, and psychological forces come together to form gender, sexuality, and identity.

Drawing from Psychology, Sociology, and ECM, the program offers a multi-disciplinary look at how identity develops and shows up in everyday life — built for students curious about the bigger questions behind human experience. This minor requires a minimum of 20 credit hours from approved coursework

Dr. Josh Fitzgerald, Greensboro College class of 2019

“I loved the GC Honors program and Greensboro College. I felt safe and a sense of genuine belonging at the college. I worked closely with my thesis advisor and professors who helped inspire me to define my path and passion of interest. That path has led me to complete my doctoral studies in Engineering Mechanics.”
