Latin American and Latiné Studies, Minor

Explore Latin American and Latiné histories, cultures, and movements — and prepare to lead in a diverse, interconnected world.

Why minor in Latin American and Latiné Studies?

  • Build a deeper understanding of Latin American, Latiné, and Chicanx/e communities — their histories, cultures, and ongoing movements for justice.
  • Make connections across borders and disciplines by studying topics like colonization, migration, Indigenous heritage, language, and the arts.
  • Fulfill core requirements while expanding your worldview — many courses in the minor count toward graduation requirements.
  • Develop valuable skills in critical thinking, cultural literacy, and Spanish language proficiency — skills that matter in every profession.
  • Prepare for careers in education, health, law, business, public service, and beyond with a foundation rooted in equity and inclusion.

Take Your Studies Beyond the Classroom

Study abroad in Latin America. Practice your Spanish. Learn directly from the people, places, and histories you study in class.
