This list of required courses includes a small number presently offered for 3 credits. Students taking such courses can either arrange with instructors to earn independent study credits in conjunction with such courses, or they can take an additional course to meet the credit requirements of the major. Departments may occasionally offer courses, with Latin American content, that are not on this list. Transfer, Branch Campus, and Foreign Study courses do not automatically count toward the major. See the Latin American Studies Advisor for evaluations and approvals.
Majors are responsible for periodic advising sessions to ensure progress toward their degree.
