The minor in Latin American and Caribbean Studies requires a minimum of five courses, including a fourth-semester proficiency in Spanish or French (see Language Block)*, and a minimum of four additional courses selected from those listed under the Culture Block. The four Culture block courses must be taken from three different departments and at least one of these must be at the 300 or 400 level. Because of curricular overlap, no student will be allowed to minor in Spanish or French and Latin American and Caribbean Studies. Students may major in either Spanish or French and minor in Latin American and Caribbean Studies, provided that no more than three courses are used for both.

*Native or heritage speakers of Spanish who have placed beyond SPAN 232 on the placement exam, or native or heritage speakers of French who have placed beyond FREN 202 must complete a 300-level language course in Spanish or French and select a course from the Culture Block taught in Spanish or French.
