Latin American and Caribbean Studies Minor


The Latin American and Caribbean studies minor at Bridgewater State University gives interested students the opportunity to use the analytical tools of various disciplines to learn about the societies of Central America, South America and the Caribbean, including the Latin American and Caribbean diasporas in the United States and elsewhere. Students from any discipline may choose a minor in Latin American and Caribbean studies. By allowing students to develop an understanding of a region that is adjacent to the United States and increasingly integrated politically, economically and culturally, this minor will enhance their academic and professional preparation.

For further information, interested students should contact Dr. Allyson Ferrante in the Department of English.
