Housed in the department of Humanities, History and Social Sciences but drawing from many department across the college, the Latino and Latin American Studies minor offers the opportunity for students to explore the histories and cultures of U.S. Latinos and Latin American peoples through an interdisciplinary approach of language, history, social institutions, literature, and the arts. By critically engaging with the ethnic and geopolitical experience of the Latino and Latin American population in the Americas, students will expand their knowledge about the transnational and transcultural complexity and richness of their worlds. The minor provides an academic experience that complements the students’ majors by strengthening their cultural and historical literacy with a multicultural perspective that helps students become better informed global citizens.
