This interdisciplinary minor draws on existing courses in the fields of modern languages, political science, literature, theology, sociology, economics, history and fine arts. Students who undertake this program should gain a comprehensive understanding of Latin American culture, language, politics and society. As Latin America continues to grow in importance to American foreign policy and international business, the minor will be of particular value to students majoring in disciplines for which a regional focus would provide a useful linkage for inquiry.
