Latin American Studies has the status of a Minor field of study for students registered in a Three- or Four-Year BA/BACS/BSc program in the Faculty of Social Science.

In order to complete the requirements for a Latin American Studies Minor field, students must successfully complete their program requirements and obtain credit in at least four full-course equivalents from the courses listed below. These must be from at least three different departments.

Anthropology 216F/G, 232F/G; 234F/G; Comparative Literature and Culture 219F/G; Geography 390a/b; History 238E, 348E; Political Science 241E; Sociology 352E, 485F/G; Spanish 203F/G, 219F/G, 343F/G, 344F/G, 346F/G, 348F/G, 403F/G, 405F/G; Women's Studies 259F/G.

Note: These courses may be counted for credit towards both the Latin American Studies minor and completion of the main area of concentration. As credit towards the minor, students may take either Comparative Literature and Culture 219F/G or Spanish 219F/G, but not both. Some courses have prerequisites. It is the responsibility of students to ensure they have obtained the prerequisites or special permissions for the courses they wish to take as part of the Latin American Studies Minor field. Prerequisites do not count as credits toward the fulfilment of requirements for the Minor. Not all courses are offered every year. While not required, it is recommended that students take at least one Spanish language course.

In addition to the courses listed above, students may also be interested in taking one or more of the following courses which are at least partially focussed on Latin America. (These cannot be counted towards the Minor.) Anthropology 211F/G; Geography 129a/b, 130a/b, 155a/b, 341a/b, 389a/b; History 027E; Political Science 240E, 365F/G; Sociology 237.
