Latin American and Latino Studies is a new interdisciplinary program in the College of Liberal Arts. Many universities have discrete, separate programs in either Latin American or Latino Studies. However, this innovative interdisciplinary program brings together both areas of study in one curricular offering. LALS provides a way for students to contemplate transnational connections and to approach the study of Latin American and Latino societies and cultures from a variety of methodological and disciplinary approaches. Currently, the program offers a 15-credit hours minor that is comprised of courses in Spanish, Portuguese, Political Science, History, English (being developed), and Anthropology.
