Latin American Studies (minor only)

Introduction & Overview 

Latin America, a region of numerous nations where indigenous, European, and African cultures interact, offers broad opportunities for interdisciplinary study. The Latin American Studies minor is interdisciplinary and designed to integrate courses from a variety of academic programs in an effort to acquaint students with the Latin American region, its history, politics, economics and literature, as well as its social and cultural background. The Latin American Studies Program hosts symposia, concerts, cinema and art exhibitions, as well as lectures by distinguished experts on the Latin American region.

It is recommended that Latin American Studies minors spend a semester abroad in Latin America or Spain.
