The minor in Latin American and Latinx Studies offers an interdisciplinary approach that allows students to develop a better appreciation for and understanding of multifaceted aspects central to contemporary and past Latin American societies and/or to Latinx communities in the U.S., such as their histories, literatures, and cultural knowledge; identity, Latinidad, and Diaspora; systems of power and privilege; the Arts -- visual, performing, and/or alternative manifestations -- as mechanisms to express identity, ideology, or resistance; and socio-political processes, among other topics. Due to its nature, the Minor in Latin American and Latinx Studies also provides new opportunities for service learning and community engagement. Courses are to be taught in English unless noted otherwise (18 credits).

6 credits of Spanish language or other languages spoken in Latin America. These credits can be satisfied via the courses listed below, or through the Seal of Biliteracy, Spanish proficiency test, or FLATS test. Languages other than Spanish accepted for the minor are left to the discretion of the World Languages department.

2-3 electives from other departments or taken abroad (with prior approval) (6-9 credits)
