Minor Requirements

The Latin American and Latinx Studies minor consists of six courses designated as LALS that come from at least four academic units. Up to two courses may be taken off campus. At least one course must be at the 300-level. No more than one Short Term course may count toward the minor.

Courses Taken Outside of Bates

Up to two courses can be taken off campus. To request that an external course count toward the minor, students should submit a copy of the syllabus to their academic advisor, preferably before they register for the external course. To be eligible to count for department credit, the course should include material beyond lectures and exams, including some combination of outside reading assignments and substantive written work that includes instructor feedback. Advanced Placement credits, awarded for a score of four or five on the relevant examination, may count toward overall College graduation requirements but do not count toward the history major or minor.

Courses taken Pass/Fail may not count toward the Latin American and Latinx Studies minor.
