Honours in Latin American and Caribbean Studies - Thematic (60 Credits)
The Honours Latin-American and Caribbean Studies - Thematic option permits highly motivated students to combine
the study of Latin America and the Caribbean with a theme or intellectual focus whose roots extend beyond the
geographic confines of this area, and for which a high level of methodological and/or theoretical expertise is required.
Themes of study may include, but are not limited to: ethnography and ethno history; the age of European expansion;
transnationalism; the concepts and practice of law and justice; nationalism and nation-building; ecology and the
management of human and natural resources.
While the Faculty of Arts regulations require a minimum CGPA of 3.0 for Honours programs, in addition, students
pursuing the Honours Latin-American and Caribbean Studies - Thematic option must normally maintain a B+ (3.30)
average in all program courses. Students must also meet all additional Faculty of Arts requirements for graduation
with Honours.
Required Courses: (21 credits)
Note: Successful completion of intermediate-level Spanish (HISP 220D1/D2 or HISP 219 or equivalent) is a prerequisite
