    Black and Latino Studies

    Department of Black and Latino Studies

    As a Major

    Black and Latino Studies (BLS) is an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary course of study that centers the knowledge productions by people of the African, Caribbean, and Latin American diasporas in the United States and globally. The major builds on a curriculum that respects Black, Indigenous, Latin American and US Latinx peoples as intellectuals, cultural producers and activists. It maintains a scholarly interest in critical questions about race, identity, and justice that offers connections between academic lessons and real-world concerns.

    As a Minor

    The Department of Black and Latino Studies offers liberal arts minors in Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Black and Latino Studies that can be fulfilled by completing two courses in the department at the 3000-level or above, followed by the capstone course BLS/LTS 4900, Seminar in Black and Latino Studies.
