The goal of the Latin American Studies Program is to blend courses across disciplinary boundaries in order to present the Latin American mosaic in all its diverse dimensions.
The interdisciplinary minor in Latin American Studies consists of five courses taken in at least two different departments. At least one of the five classes must be either 300 or 400 level. The list below is representative of courses available to minors. Students who would like to fulfill requirements for the minor with courses taken at other institutions, or in study abroad programs, should consult with the program director.
Courses taken on a credit/no credit basis cannot be counted towards the minor.
