PSYC 246 Human Sexuality 6 credits
Humans are a sexual animal. Not only do we engage in sexual behavior for procreation, but also at times for pleasure, intimacy, affiliation, and profit. Furthermore, we maintain sexual and gender identities that affect our behaviors and help us organize our social worlds. These identities develop over time, through our childhood and adolescence and into adulthood. We also place boundaries on sexuality and gender through norms, laws, and social conventions. Sexuality is at once commonplace and private, ubiquitous yet taboo. In this course, we will explore the many dimensions and paradoxes of human sexuality and its connection to our psychology. We will also consider these topics in the context of real-world phenomena and cross-cultural examples.

PSYC 264 Relationship Science 6 credits
What makes two people attracted to one another? Why do some relationships last for decades, and others for just weeks? In what ways do our relationships influence our understanding of who we are?

The content covered in this course will focus primarily on insights drawn from psychological research on romantic relationships, with particular attention to questions of how people across diverse backgrounds and identities experience their relationships.
