LGBTQIra

Oh, to clarify, my work actually deals with the intersection of all three areas I mentioned. I work on health and policy-related projects for the LGBTQ community and some people I work with have either public health degrees or human rights-related degrees. Whether or not I eventually want to pursue a PhD and also teach is something I am still deciding on but either way, I am sure I want to do non-profit work and that I want to work first after getting my master's. Thank you. I'll consider looking at more focused degrees that can still offer some flexibility.

Thank you. I will look into it.

Thank you for your responses. I have been considering getting an MPH or an MS in Epidemiology but I think I really want to have more queer-related courses. Columbia's Human Rights MA does sound appealing too. I've asked and they said Queer Studies and Public Health can be my focus. I just don't know how much queer-related courses they actually have available. I am currently doing non-profit work on both LGBTQ and HIV issues. To be honest, I am still deciding on what to do after getting my master's degree. I am considering working in the academe while still doing development work. Development work will definitely be part of the plan.

I'm looking for programs that will help me build solid foundation on Queer/LGBT Studies and allow me to combine it Public Health and Human Rights. Which institutions are strong in these areas, especially Queer Studies? So far I'm looking at NYU Gallatin and CUNY MALS.

No. I know someone who went to six high schools and had to fight her way through getting into the college of her choice. Eventually she took her master's, got scholarships abroad, and is now a recipient of a prestigious writing grant. Do not lose hope. And yes, please seek help in dealing with the depression.
