Caribbean Studies

The Interdisciplinary Minor in Caribbean Studies is an inter-departmental, integrative curriculum designed to promote a comprehensive study of the complex societies of the multi-linguistic region of the Caribbean. Students take six courses (eighteen hours) from the program’s listing, which must include History of the Caribbean (Hist 140/141), Modern Caribbean Literature (Engl 225), Caribbean Fine Arts (THDN 109) or Afro-Caribbean Philosophy (Phil 164), and a Senior Seminar in the topic discipline that results in a thesis paper. Two electives from the program’s course listings, or one course and an internship arranged through an advisor of the program, satisfy the remaining hours. Students should normally declare this minor during the second semester of the sophomore year.
