Human Sexuality Courses: Where and How Many?

Abstract

Previous research determined that human sexuality courses were being offered by 23% of psychology departments in the United States. Human sexuality courses are now being offered by 41% of the American colleges and universities surveyed in our study and, of these courses, 44% are taught in psychology departments. Larger institutions are more likely to offer human sexuality courses than are smaller schools. The proportions of religiously affiliated and nonaffiliated schools offering such courses ate not significantly different.
