Latin American and Latinx Studies Program

About Our Program

The Latin American and Latinx Program brings together faculty from Environmental Studies, History, International Studies, Modern Languages, Political Science, Sociology, Theology and Religious Studies, and Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies to create a minor that complements a variety of major fields of study.

The increasing integration of the Americas, along with the growing importance of Latin American immigrants and their descendants in the United States, heightens the need for well-informed leaders who have a comprehensive understanding of Latin America and its relationship with the United States and other parts of the world.
