Education

Hite received a masters degree in history from the University of Florida in 1967. She then moved to New York and enrolled at Columbia University to work toward her Ph.D. in social history. Hite attributes the non-completion of this degree to the conservative nature of Columbia at that time. She later compelted a Ph.D. at Nihon University, Tokyo, Japan and a Ph.D. in clinical sexology at Maimonides University, North Miami Beach, FL (USA)
