Within the specialization, students study sexuality as central to human development across the life course, encompassing sexual expression, gender identities and roles, sexual diversities, pleasure, intimacy, reproduction and sexual safety. Coursework addresses sexuality as both a source of empowerment and a site of oppression. Students learn evidence-based interventions that can bolster awareness of and resistance to social injustice, foster sexual and political self-efficacy, and shift communities toward greater appreciation for diversity, democratic processes, and universal flourishing. One practice teaching course equips students to design sexuality education curricula. Students are also prepared to fulfill Core Knowledge Area requirements for certification as Sexuality Educators. Graduates are prepared for careers as sexuality educators, advocates, policymakers, program administrators and therapists—and, more generally, for critical and holistic social work practice that recognizes links between sexual and gender oppression and social and health disparities Career Paths Graduates may pursue positions such as: Community Organizer or Lobbyist Program Manager Sex Therapist Sexualities and Disabilities Educator University Student Health Services Advocate SPECIALIZATION REQUIREMENTS: 9 CREDITS Sex, Society and Social Work: Issues and Interventions (3 credits) Six additional credits of sexuality-related coursework* *Select from a variety of approved courses, including: Sexual Health Across the Life Course (3 credits) Designing and Implementing Sexual Health Education: Service-Learning (3 credits) Designing Sexual Health Education Curriculum (3 credits) Media Methods for Disseminating Sexual Health Education (3 credits) Regulating Sex: Social Work Perspectives (3 credits) PRACTICUM The Sexual Health and Education specialization requires 120 hours of related tasks during the concentration practicum.

Featured Graduate“The courses I took deepened my understanding of how sexual health is relevant to many disciplines—sociology, public health, social work, psychology and more. The transdisciplinary nature of this specialization was especially appealing, because it allowed me to pursue the intersection of my primary passions: violence prevention and healthy relationships.&＃8221;—ZOE WHALEY, MSW ’14, WELLNESS &＃038; HEALTH PROMOTION COORDINATOR FOR VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND SEXUAL WELLNESS, SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY Quick Links: Apply About Brown School Contact Us Directions Academic Professional Integrity Policy Native Land Acknowledgement wustl.edu Keep Up with Our Latest News, Research and Insights: Support the Campaign: to Grow. to Lead. to Change. --> Founded in 1925, the George Warren Brown School was named with a generous gift from Betty Bofinger Brown in memory of her late husband.
