Latin American Studies

Minor

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:

• Four courses (3 credits each) from the following areas: anthropology, foreign language studies, global studies, history, political science, or sociology, for a total of 12 credits.

• A senior capstone seminar in Latin American studies, 3 credits.

• One additional (3 credit) course from anthropology, foreign language studies, history, 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.)
