Baccalaureate program – Latin American Studies
The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures has launched a new minor in Latin American studies. The program provides a comprehensive understanding of the cultures, histories, languages and societies of a region that boasts roughly five hundred million people, as well as close and growing ties to Canada.
Open to students from all faculties, the program represents a unique chance to complement your main field of studies through a mind-broadening exploration of a changing, heterogeneous universe. For instance, you have the opportunity to study Latin America from the perspective of multiple disciplines thanks to interdepartmental and interfaculty courses, conferences, discussion groups and cultural activities.
By introducing this minor, the University wants to help you discover a new and exciting field of studies, expand your knowledge base by acquiring insights into the multiple facets of Latin America, gain intercultural and multidisciplinary competence, and become well acquainted with the polyphonic discourse of this immense region of the world.
Language of instruction
Except for the compulsory Spanish and Portuguese language courses, all our courses are taught in English or French.
Specific admission requirements
Students with prior knowledge of Spanish or Portuguese must write a placement test to determine if they can be exempted from the introductory language courses.
