Latin American Minor

The Latin American studies minor explores the religion, politics, economics and cultures of Latin American societies. While taking multidisciplinary classes on broad topics, you also will encounter one specific culture firsthand and gain in-depth understanding of a major geopolitical region through the required field experience in a Latin American country. You will also work to achieve proficiency in the Spanish language.Deepening your global understanding is a crucial part of your liberal arts education---and because we are committed to global exposure as a crucial component of learning, your financial aid package will apply to any Gordon-approved study abroad program, including the Latin American Studies Program in Costa Rica (just one of the field experience options). During semesters when you study on campus, Gordon's location in the multicultural Greater Boston area offers opportunities for involvement in local Spanish-speaking communities and church congregations.
