Description
The Human Sexuality minor gives students an opportunity to study a range of issues—basic, in-depth and controversial—that covers women’s health, HIV/AIDS and the teaching of sexuality in age and developmentally appropriate ways. The flexible nature of the minor allows students to design their program to align with their interests and primary study.
Admission Requirements
Admission to a minor is open to students declared in a bachelor’s degree, the A.A.B. or A.A.S. degree or the A.T.S. degree (not Individualized Program major). Students declared only in the A.A. or A.S. degree or the A.T.S. degree in Individualized Program may not declare a minor. Students may not pursue a minor and a major in the same discipline.
Students declared in the School Health Education major or the Community Health Education major may not declare the Human Sexuality minor.
To declare this minor, students must have attempted a minimum 12 credit hours at Kent State and earned a minimum 2.000 overall Kent State GPA. Students who have not attempted 12 credit hours at Kent State will be evaluated for admission based on their high school GPA for new students or transfer GPA for transfer students. Transfer students who have not attempted 12 credit hours of college-level coursework at Kent State and/or other institutions will be evaluated based on both their high school GPA and college GPA.
