 Return to: Programs in the College of Liberal Arts
Latinx Studies is an 18 unit interdisciplinary minor housed within the Gender, Race, and Identity Department. Focused on the peoples, cultures, knowledges, and communities of Latin American descent in the United States, the minor emphasizes the diverse cultural and historical contributions of those communities and examines the variety of Latinx cultures that exist both in the United States and transnationally. The Latinx experience is considered within the context of historical and contemporary political realities that have shaped and are shaping issues ranging from immigration and citizenship, health care, education, law and justice, gender and sexuality, and other topics. Knowledge of Spanish is not required for this program; however, interested students may choose to use Spanish courses to fulfill some program requirements with prior advisor approval.
