A major or minor in the interdisciplinary field of LGBTQ+ Studies prepares students for a large variety of careers. Students can use their expertise in LGBTQ+ Studies to help them develop careers in LGBTQ+ non-profit agencies, law, local and national politics, health care settings, counseling, journalism, news media, theatre, film, fine arts, and education. The internship course (LGBT 598) helps students reflect on their career goals.
