The minor in Latin American studies is designed to complement other majors for which a focus on Latin America can be beneficial (e.g., history, international business, communications, Spanish, economics and political science). Prospective secondary teachers may find this minor particularly attractive. The minor requires proficiency in either Spanish or Portuguese, as defined above for the major; three units of cultural history (LTAM 300 , HIST 350 , SPAN 316 or PORT 325 ); and nine units of approved electives from at least two departments listed below; or from the Latin American Studies “Elective Fields of Study” list.
