Requirements are designed so that students acquire exposure to both Latin American and Latino studies, with a general background from introductory-level courses and a more specialized study at the advanced level. Students can tailor the remaining requirements toward a more general curriculum by taking an equal number of courses in Latin American Studies and in Latino Studies or pursue an area of specialization by taking more of their remaining courses in one of the two areas. Students may also choose to take courses in a particular disciplinary area of the humanities (history and cultural studies) or the social sciences (anthropology, political science, sociology) or a combination of these areas. Students are strongly encouraged to take at least one course on Mexico.
