Interdisciplinary Studies
Latin American and Latino Studies Minor
The Latin American and Latino Studies minor is designed to introduce students to an interdisciplinary study of the history, populations and cultures of Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as the study of people of Latin American and Caribbean origin in the United States. An introductory course will explore the development and state of interdisciplinary studies in the field, the diverse nature of Latin American and Caribbean communities, and the experiences of different Latino groups in the United States. Other courses will be drawn from offerings in History, Political Science, Sociology, Geography, Interdisciplinary Studies, Education, Social Work, Foreign Languages and Literature. Field study in Latin America, the Caribbean, or local and regional Latin American or Latino organizations and communities is also encouraged.
The minor consists of 15 credits
