Co-Major
Students wishing to maximize their potential for academic, professional, business, non-profit, or government careers related to the area, may earn a co-major in Latin American and Latino studies together with a primary major in another discipline in Fulbright College. This co-major can compliment a major you are already committed to and offer perfect overlap with gaps in many of your other classes.
