Minor Coordinator: Dr. Eric R. Rittinger • 410-548-3531

Advisement for the minor is available from the Center for International Education.

The Latin American studies minor is an interdisciplinary area studies program with a study abroad requirement, as well as the opportunity to complete most of the minor via a semester abroad at a foreign SU partner institution.

  • At least 1 course for the minor must be completed while studying in a Latin American country.

  • No more than 9 transfer credits may count toward the minor. (Note: Students may count 4 courses/16 credits completed via the semester-long Salisbury Abroad: Ecuador program toward the minor, as these are not transfer credits, but SU courses executed abroad via SU’s partner institution in Latin America.)

  • Earn grades of C or better in all courses taken for the minor.

  • No more than one course in the minor may be used to satisfy General Education requirements.
