Undergraduate Minor

The Latino Studies Program offers an interdisciplinary undergraduate minor in Latino Studies, with courses mostly drawn from history, sociology, anthropology, literature and language, but the program also crosslists courses from other colleges.

Requirements

* To complete the minor students must take at least five courses (a minimum of 15 credits) in Latino Studies, including Latinos in the United States, (DSOC 2650, LSP 2010, SOC 2650), which is offered each spring semester.

* Students are required to include at least three courses from Group I and II (one from each group, and another from either group). Of the three courses, two must be at the 300 or 400 level.

* One course from the elective category can count towards the concentration.

* Courses must be completed with a letter grade of "C" or above.

Please note: You do not have to enroll under LSP in order for the courses to be counted towards the minor - you can register under the cross-listed department. Independent Studies and Freshman Writing Seminars DO NOT count towards fulfilling minor requirements. Not all courses offered each semester/year. Please refer to the roster and listing in the LSP office or on our web site at http://latino.lsp.cornell.edu/. The list varies each semester in accordance with faculty schedules and visiting appointments.

Registration: Students who are interested in the minor must meet with the LSP Director/Advisor, and file an application with the Latino Studies Program office by the beginning of their junior year. Applications are available in the Latino Studies Program office, 434 Rockefeller Hall.
