How It Works
Minor:
A minor provides you with a way to learn more about a subject without committing to the requirements of a major.
Double Major:
A double major allows you to gain both disciplinary and regional expertise, as well as write a disciplinary thesis that focuses on Latin America.
It might be for you if...
Minor:
You are interested in learning more about Latin American history, politics, cultures, and economies but have a fairly rigid graduation plan laid out.

You'd like to apply what you've learned in your disciplinary studies (e.g., History, Anthropology, Public Policy) to a specific region or case study.
Double Major:
You can't get enough of the LACS courses and want to take as many as possible in your time at UChicago.

You'd like to write a thesis on a Latin American theme or topic (or, petition to write one thesis for both majors!).

You have room in your graduation plan to navigate the courseload of two majors.
