Program Overview

Graduate Specialization in Sexual Diversity Studies

The Bonham Centre hosts a collaborative graduate specialization in Sexual Diversity Studies at the MA and PhD levels. A collaborative specialization requires admission to a “home” unit (e.g. English, History, Criminology, Law). Applications to the SDS program may be submitted at the same time as those submitted to the home department/centre/faculty, though candidacy for admission SDS will be considered at any time. Students well into a U of T graduate program may also be considered for admission to the SDS program.
