Requirements for the Latin American Studies Minor

The Latin American Studies minor requires a minimum of five units in at least three departments. Before declaring a minor, students should consult with a faculty advisor and the Director of Latin American Studies; both must approve the minor plan. Requirements include:

• One regional survey unit, chosen from ANTH 245/LAST 245, ECON 241/LAST 241, HIST 207/LAST 207, HIST 211/LAST 211, LAST 101, LAST 217/POL2 207, LAST 273/SPAN 273, or LAST 275/SPAN 275. When it is offered, students are strongly encouraged to take LAST 101.
• Four elective units, including two units of approved humanities courses and two units of approved social science courses. At least one of the units must be at the 300 level. Some approved courses require students to complete a paper on Latin America as a condition of approval; students may take no more than one unit of such courses.
