The
Latino/a Studies minor is an interdisciplinary
academic program that critically examines
the social, historical, and cultural experiences
of people of Latin American descent living
in the United States.
Through core and elective courses, the Latino/a Studies minor provides students with foundational knowledge and a broad overview of the experiences, histories, and cultures of the largest racial/ethnic minority group in the U.S. Students are also required to take one course focusing on Latin America. This will encourage students to broaden their knowledge of U.S. Latinos by exploring the transnational relationships between populations on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border.
The program consists of 21 credit hours. Students are required to take ETHN 1100 and ETHN 2110. In addition, students take 4 courses that focus on U.S. Latinos and 1 course that focuses on Latin America.
