Please note that if a class appears on this list, it means it has been successfully used in previous Certificate applications. That said, some of these courses are not explicitly Latin America/Latinx–focused; in those cases, students petitioned for them to count as half-credit by demonstrating how they developed their understanding of Latin America through their own research or assignments within the course.

If you see a class you have taken, please ensure that your work in that course had strong and clear connections to Latin American or Latinx contexts.
