To be eligible for the departmental honors program, students must have a minimum 3.25 grade-point average overall and a minimum 3.5 grade-point average in Latino and Caribbean studies
courses. Interested majors are encouraged to apply toward the end of their junior year. Students are admitted to the program by recommendation of a
faculty adviser and permission of the undergraduate director. To graduate with
honors, students must complete a yearlong (6 credits) independent research project that culminates in a written thesis, creative work, or community-based program.
Departmental honors also are awarded to those students maintaining a grade-point average of 3.5 in the major and who complete the requirements for the Honors College or School of Arts and Sciences Honors Program.
