The Minor in Hispanic and Latin American Studies is flexible and interdisciplinary, offering courses in culture, literature, and an array of electives. Students gain important insights and perspectives about the artistic, economic, environmental, historic, linguistic and political distinctiveness of Hispanic countries. (‘Hispanic country’ is defined as a country where Spanish is the primary or one of the primary spoken languages.) Students also come to appreciate the challenges faced by peoples who live in Hispanic nations today.
The 18-credit minor consists of three required courses taught in English:
HSP 210: Culture and Civilization of Spain
HSP 373: Latin American Cultures I
HSP 374: Latin American Cultures II
Students then select three electives (9 credits) to complete the minor and may suggest other electives beyond those listed in the curriculum section after consulting with their minor adviser. Electives may include culture and literature courses as well as internships and study abroad. Students can choose to complete the minor entirely in English or incorporate Spanish language courses. At least 9 credits must be taken on campus.
