The Latin American and Latino Studies program at Montana State provides students interested in Latin American and Latino history, culture, and language with valuable interdisciplinary skills. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the program, Latin American and Latino Studies students are given the option to not only study courses focusing on Latin American and Latino socio-cultural subjects but other relevant content from other departments such as sociology, political science or gender studies, as well. Although the equivalent of four semesters of Spanish language is required, students with prior experience in Spanish language or heritage students may have some of those language requirements waived.
The Modern Languages & Literatures major at Montana State offers four additional Options Within the Major: Asian Studies, French & Francophone Studies, German Studies and Hispanic Studies. Additionally, Latin American & Latino Studies can be taken as a minor.
