Academic Introduction to the Major (AIM)

Latin American Studies

Gateway/Entry-Point Courses into Latin American Studies Major/Minor

The Latin American Studies Program is an interdisciplinary program, therefore its curriculum comes from cross-listed courses from other academic departments in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Spanish is required for students pursuing a major or minor in Latin American Studies. Students should finish the sequence of Spanish language courses (Span 1, 2, 51, 52, 101) as soon as possible. The Romance Language Department's webpage has a placement test for students who are unsure which course to take.

The courses offered in the major vary from semester to semester, so students should consult the on-line schedule of courses on the registrar's page under "Latin American Studies" to see what courses are being offered in a given semester.

Many of the core courses of the major have prerequisites in their disciplines, so students should consider taking

POLS 071 Introduction to Comparative Politics
ANTH 021 Human Cultures
HST 062 Colonial Latin America
HST 063 Modern Latin America
EC 011 Principles of Macroeconomics
EC 012 Principles of Microeconomics
