The Minor
The Latin American studies minor provides the student the opportunity to develop a general knowledge of Latin America through an interdisciplinary approach in the areas of modern languages, anthropology, history, sociology, and political science.  Because the Latin American Studies Program is interdisciplinary, students can expect to have their program of studies tailored to their individual needs. 

For detailed information on the requirements for the Latin American studies minor, as well as course listings and descriptions, please see the on-line undergraduate catalog.
