- Description
- Latin America and the Caribbean are extraordinarily diverse areas, encompassing a wide variety of cultures, political units, economies, languages, and environments. The goals of the Latin American and Caribbean Studies minor are to foster greater knowledge about Latin America and the Caribbean and to explore the cultural, political, and economic contributions of that area to the global community. The minor aims to expand students’ views concerning the multicultural nature of the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean and to emphasize the interactions between indigenous and introduced cultures in this region, both past and present. Students will also be introduced to an understanding of the interplay between "Latin America" and "the Caribbean," regions that overlap and intersect but also each hold distinct characteristics. The Latin American and Caribbean studies minor will be useful to students envisioning careers in government, business, journalism, community service, public health, education, or the environment. The minor will also prepare students interested in pursuing graduate work in any field related to Latin America and the Caribbean.
