The Latino Studies Program was established to survey and study the history, culture, and social fabric of the Latino populations of the United States. Courses in the program offer students an interdisciplinary perspective on the various Latino communities in the country.
Students can pursue an undergraduate major or a concentration in Latino studies.
The program also sponsors research projects and academic conferences. Students interested in a major should plan their program of study no later than the end of the sophomore year. A minimum of 39 points is required for completion of the major. One of these four courses must be a seminar . Concentrators are not required to take a senior seminar, nor specialize in an area or field.
