Advising
Primary advising is overseen by the Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies (LACX) director. Students are encouraged to email the director before submitting their declaration to not just to ensure that their planned courses satisfy the requirements, but also to connect their interests and goals to relevant opportunities, courses, and resources.
Declaring
To declare their major students must have either completed their introductory course requirement or completed three core courses with a C or higher. Students must have also completed or be enrolled in the language competency course class (SPAN 152, PORT 152, or SPAN 200).
We strongly encourage students to reach out to the program before submitting their online declaration for both the minor and major to ensure that they have planned appropriately to complete the requirements in the appropriate division (social sciences or humanities).
