Answering the demands of students and faculty members, the College of Humanities has been offering CSUN students the opportunity to explore gender and sexuality through the queer studies minor. The program started in Fall 2008.
Sheena Malhorta, an associate professor for the gender & women studies major, is the coordinator for the queer studies program. She said an interdisciplinary committee — established by the dean of the College of Humanities — worked for a couple years to design the new minor but noted that for decades, "there have been students asking for something like this."
