What are Latin American and Latino Studies?
The Latin American and Latino Studies (LAS) minor explores the indigenous, colonial, and postcolonial histories of the Latin American nations and the development of their distinctive identities, the struggle for independence, and the establishment of modern democracies, as well as the experiences, history, culture, and politics of people of Latin American and Caribbean descent in the United States. Through courses in Spanish, anthropology, history, economics, global studies, management, music, sociology, and criminology, the program provides an opportunity for the interdisciplinary study of the history, political and economic systems, social structures, and literary and artistic expressions of Latin America and U.S. Latinos. The six-course minor in LAS prepares students for graduate study or employment in fields such as government, business, industry, and education.
