New for Fall 2009:

Latino-American Studies Certificate Program (18 credits)

This program is designed primarily for those in careers that interact on a regular basis with the Latino-American population (business, education, government, human and social services, medicine, ministry). It focuses on developing background knowledge of the differing experiences, values, and needs of Latinos and a deeper awareness of issues related to Latinos living in the United States to help students make better informed decisions about and collaborate better with this population. The program requires completion of three specialized core courses related directly to Latino-American Studies (History, Political/Social Issues, and Culture) and one of two allied support options (either Sociology or Spanish Language) that allow for extension and application of the core knowledge within the broader context of diversity and social relations or intercultural verbal communication.

• HIS 253: Latino-American History (core course)*
• SOC 110: Introduction to Sociology (Sociology option)*
• SPA 101: Elementary Spanish I (Spanish language option)*
• SPA 111: Intermediate Spanish I (Spanish language option)*
