Requirements for the Minor in Latin American Studies

Students who wish to supplement their major with a systematic survey of Latin America may elect the minor in Latin American studies. The minor requires 18 credit hours, with no language competence requirement, distributed in the following manner:

  • One course (3 credits) in each of the following areas: anthropology, sociology, modern languages, and political science, for a total of 12 credits,
  • A senior capstone seminar in Latin American studies, 3 credits, and
  • One additional course from anthropology, history, modern languages, or political science, with the provision that this course cannot also count toward the student’s major. (Example: A political science major may not take a political science course as the final three credits toward the minor in Latin American studies.)

The Courses


Requirements for a minor concentration in Latin American studies must be taken from the following list. Under unusual circumstances, the advisor of the Latin American Studies Program may authorize an appropriate substitute course. Political science tutorials and special topic courses also may be authorized with approval from the advisor.
