Latin American Studies, Minor
Goals
Latin American Studies encourages students to learn more about the importance of Latin American social, cultural, political, and economic systems. Students in this minor will gain an interdisciplinary perspective on Latin American issues, and have opportunities to study abroad throughout Latin America.
Spanish majors can use three courses inside the major to count toward the LAS minor, and three need to be taken outside the Spanish major.
Some LAS courses can also count toward certain General Education requirements.
Minor
The minor requires six courses.
