The mission of the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality is to provide a graduate course of study for those persons considering and preparing for careers in human sexuality or already working in the field and in so doing, to make a significant contribution to the quality of professional work in the field. The mission requires the maintenance of archives, resource centers and research facilities dealing with primary sexological and erotological material not available elsewhere and a commitment to the highest scientific, academic and ethical standards by administrators, faculty and students.
