Latinx Studies
Bienvenidos | Welcome
Whatever word you use, the University of Oregon welcomes Ducks from everywhere, whether they're from another state or country, or have ancestors who made the journey before them. The university is always working to be a more welcoming home to the students, faculty members, and staff from the diverse Latinx community.
The Minor
The Latinx studies minor is for students across all majors who want to learn more about the perspectives and experiences of Latinx communities in the US and Latin America.
Your path, your way:
After you complete the required Introduction to Ethnic Studies (ES 101) course, you’ll choose from courses across more than 14 departments from five different colleges on campus to fit your interests. Love performing arts? Take a course in the School of Music and Dance. Is history and politics your jam? We’ve got you covered. The Latinx minor program is designed to encourage broad learning, so all students are required to take at least one course in the social sciences, humanities, and one in a professional school on campus.
Through completing the 24 credits needed for the Latinx studies minor, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from multiple departments, and connect with other students and faculty from around the entire university.
