The minor in Latin American and Caribbean Studies provides students with an opportunity to engage in the study of Latin America and the Caribbean beyond the Humanities and Arts Requirement. This interdisciplinary minor enables students to investigate issues and innovations that are important within Latin America and the Caribbean. It also allows students to explore topics in global studies from the perspectives of diverse groups and institutions in the region.
The Latin American and Caribbean Studies minor consists of two units of work selected from either Track One Spanish Sequence, or Track Two International and Global Studies/History Sequence. In addition to the courses listed in these two tracks, the minor advisor may approve other courses related to Latin American and Caribbean Studies, including those offered by other WPI departments and the HECCMA Consortium.
In both tracks, no more than one unit of work for the Humanities and Arts Requirement may be applied toward the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Minor. Any student at WPI is eligible to pursue the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Minor as long as at least one unit of work for these requirements does not overlap with the requirements for other minors or majors.
