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
110 and ETHN
