The Dennis L. Carlson Sexuality Studies Center

The Dennis L. Carlson Sexuality Studies Center at Miami is unique: It marks Miami as the first institution in the region to provide critical, service-oriented, scholarly programs in sexual education, supporting students, faculty, staff and the community. The SESC allows Miami to uniquely prepare students training for careers in P-12 education, public health, family life education, social work, educational leadership and school psychology in an unparalleled manner.

This center also supports personal development and adds to contemporary conversations that are happening at national levels. In addition, fostering connections with organizations that value sexual health, wellness, informed decision making, prepared citizens and equity within our larger communities is also a priority.
