Latin American Studies Minor


Directors:
Diana Rodriguez-Lozano (Foreign Languages and Literatures) Amanda L. Beal (Political Science)

The Latin American studies minor is an interdisciplinary program drawing on existing courses in the fields of modern languages, political science, literature, sociology, economics, history and fine arts. This minor introduces students to an understanding of Latin American culture, language, politics and society. The minor will be of particular value for students majoring in disciplines which otherwise lack a regional focus and for which a regional focus would be complementary (business and economics, political science, history, sociology, etc.). The minor consisted of six courses (18 credits).

Program Requirements


Students are required to take the following three courses (12 credit hours):

Additional Courses


Students are required to take 3 additional courses (9 credit hours) to complete the minor, at least one of which is a Latin American literature course from the Language department course offerings. These offerings change regularly, so please see the Spanish program offerings for details.

In addition, students may take any of the following courses to count towards the minor:

Note


Students can also participate in one of the 1-credit abroad experiences and work with Dr. Rodriguez-Lozano or Dr. Beal to fulfill a 3-credit independent study elective. Please contact one of the Directors for more information on this option or to request approval for other relevant courses.
