Latin American Studies is a multidisciplinary approach to Latin America and the Hispanic Caribbean, with Spanish and/or Portuguese language study and off-campus study that gives students a deep knowledge of the area. Students who minor in Latin American Studies spend a summer, semester, or year studying in a department-approved study-abroad program. This firm grounding in the history, cultures, and languages of Latin America allows students from any major to bring a wider global perspective to their work.
