Latin American Studies Minor

Latin American Studies is an interdisciplinary field that fosters dialogue between the arts,
humanities, and social sciences - as well as pre-professional areas of study - with the goal of
fostering a greater understanding of issues surrounding Latin America’s historical, linguistic, and
socio-cultural contexts. The Latin American studies minor combines courses from history,
Spanish, philosophy, environmental studies, economics, business, communications, and study
abroad programs in Latin America. These courses will allow students to focus on Latin America,
exploring its historical, cultural, political, economic, environmental, and philosophical
foundations. This minor will enrich students’ study within their major program by bringing them
into contact with perspectives from different disciplines on related issues. Students will be
prepared for engagement with diverse communities in whatever career paths they may choose.
