Associate in Arts for Transfer - Social Justice: LGBTQ Studies

Los Medanos College

The Associate in Arts in Social Justice: LGBTQ Studies for Transfer Degree Program at Los Medanos College offers students a multidisciplinary approach to the study of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer identities, culture, art, literature politics, history and society in the United States and across cultures. Through the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, students will incorporate queer theory, theories of race and ethnicity, and feminist theory, to examine, analyze and compare social and political movement, and consider the ways that we currently understand and have historically understood various constructions of sexuality, gender identity and behavior depending upon historic time and global location. To support this multidisciplinary approach, students in the Associate in Arts in Social Justice: LGBTQ Studies for Transfer Degree Program may take courses in history, psychology, politics, literature, film, art, ethnic studies, gender studies, child development and health. The degree requires a minimum of 18 units lower division work in LGBTQ Studies and related disciplines and is combined with the California State General Education Pattern to prepare students to take upper division courses at a California State University.
