The Latin American and Caribbean Studies Minor helps prepare students interested in working with Latin American/Caribbean communities in the United States or overseas. This interdisciplinary program offers a broad foundation in the humanities and social sciences. Students will expand their knowledge and language skills by integrating work in the fields of business, communications, economics, education, environmental science, history, and politics with interdisciplinary coursework and exploring various theoretical and methodological approaches. This 18 credit sequence in Latin American and Caribbean Studies may complement a great number of major programs of study such as Business Administration, Communications, Economics, French, History, Political Science, and Spanish, among others.
The program strongly encourages students to fulfill their immersion experience through study abroad in Latin America or the Caribbean through the Marist Abroad Program or through internships, community service, or participation in international organizations approved by the program coordinator. If you have further questions about the minor, please contact Dr. Ivette Romero by email at ivette.romero@marist.edu or by telephone at (845) 575-3000, extension 2807.
