Recommendations for Latin American and Caribbean Studies Minors
- Normally, courses taken to satisfy the major requirements may not count toward the Latin American and Caribbean studies minor. Exceptions must be arranged with the program advisor.
- Study abroad plays a critical role in learning about Latin America and the Caribbean. Minors with a Spanish American focus are encouraged to complete at least one semester of study abroad through ISEP programs or another program approved by Beloit College. Likewise, students of French are encouraged to complete at least one semester of study abroad through ISEP programs in Guadeloupe or Martinique or another program approved by Beloit College. Upon consultation with the minor advisor, 2 units taken abroad may substitute for the required and elective courses.
- Students should begin the study of Spanish and/or French as early as possible to qualify for study abroad programs.
- The study of Portuguese is strongly recommended for those wishing to focus on Brazil.
- Minors are encouraged to spend at least one semester living in the Spanish or French House.
