Lavender Graduation at SDSU 2011

San Diego State University is only the second college or university in North America to have a major in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Studies, beginning in January 2012. SDSU has also had a minor in LGBT Studies since fall 2009. Read more...

LGBT Studies is an interdisciplinary program, not affiliated with any one department. Courses offered include LGBT literature, history of sexuality, media and sexuality, psychology of human sexual behavior, sexuality in modern society, valuing human diversity, lesbian lives and cultures, among many others. There are also over a dozen internships in LGBT organizations.

San Diego State University has recently been recognized as one of the 20 best colleges in the U.S. for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students. This honor was awarded by Campus Pride, a nonprofit organization focused on making college campuses safer and more inviting for LGBT students. Read more...
