Please be sure to check the full list of requirements before selecting classes. Also take a look at the information on study abroad using the menu above.<\/p>\n

All courses listed as pre-approved count for both the major and the concentration unless otherwise indicated. Conditional courses require approval.<\/p>\n

Any course that has substantial content focused on Latin America or the Latinx U.S. is a good candidate for both the major and the concentration. A limited number of courses focused on Spain can count for the major. If you notice a course that you think we may have missed, please let us know!<\/p>\n
