PROPOSED CATALOG CHANGES FOR THE LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES MINOR

 

REQUIREMENTS FOR A MINOR IN LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES

 

Purpose. This is an interdisciplinary program designed to provide undergraduates with an organized focus for their interests in Latin America.  The program is designed to enhance, rather than substitute for, a student’s disciplinary major.

 

Program Requirements: A minimum of 18 credits is required from the following courses, selected from at least four departments

            HIST 135, 336, 430, 477

            GEOG 226

            SPAN 303,304, 326, 415, 430

            ANTH 265, 323, 337, 338, 375, 380

            POSC 426, 431, 450

 

Language Requirement

In addition to the 18-credit minimum, students must complete SPAN 107 or demonstrate equivalent proficiency on a placement test.  Equivalent competence in Portuguese will be allowed.  The study of both languages is strongly encouraged.

 

Study Abroad

Study abroad at a Latin American site for either a semester, or a winter or summer session, is highly recommended.

 

Advisement and substitutions

Substitutions for specified courses may be made with permission of the Director of Latin American Studies so long as the same disciplinary distribution is maintained.
