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
211. In addition, students take 4 courses
that focus on U.S. Latinos and 1 course that
focuses on Latin America.
