 (15 Credits)

It is projected that Latinos will comprise 29% of the total population of the United States by the year 2050, making them the largest minority group in the country (Pew Research Center, 2008).

Multiculturalism and diversity are included among the core values of the University of Saint Joseph. In turn, USJ is committed to preparing professionals to meet the increasing demand for cultural and linguistically competent services by teaching our students about Latinos across the diaspora including immigration, acculturation, and cultural preservation. Moreover, students will also develop projects that meet the needs of Latino communities.

The Latino Community Practice Certificate increases Latino cultural knowledge and Spanish language proficiency. It is open to students in every major.
