A minor is offered in Latin American and Caribbean Studies.

Off-campus study in Latin America or the Caribbean (or on the U.S.-Mexico border) is strongly recommended. Consult the International and Off-Campus Study Center for possible programs. Courses taken in an approved off-campus study program as well as in certain summer school programs may, with prior approval, substitute for some of the required courses. Students should consult with the chairs of the appropriate departments and complete an "Off-Campus Course Credit" form before leaving DePauw for their off-campus study. Because of curricular overlap, no student will be permitted to minor in Spanish and also minor in Latin American and Caribbean Studies. However, students will be permitted to major in Spanish and minor in Latin American and Caribbean Studies, provided that at least three courses are not used for both.
