What you can accomplish

What you can accomplish with a minor in Latino/a studies from Millersville University:

• Enhance your employability among corporations such as FFE Minerals Corporation (http://www.ffeminerals.com/) or Gulden Ophthalmologic (http://www.guldenindustries.com/) which are engaged in trade with Latin American countries
• Improve your chances of working successfully in social services for agencies like The Boys and Girls Clubs of America (http://www.bgca.org/) or the YMCA (http://www.ymca.net/)
• Better understand the parents and students in your schools through exposure to advocacy groups like PIQE (http://www.piqe.org/) that foster collaboration between parents and teachers
• Find more job opportunities as a teacher with bi-cultural sensitivity (see http://www.recruitingteachers.org/ )
• Increase your job opportunities in corrections because you are bilingual and familiar with the Latino culture (http://www.appa-net.org/)

The Latino/a studies minor blends well with almost any major. Whether you are employed as a quality control manager in a chemical plant, teaching in a public school, operating a small business, or working in the criminal justice field, you will find that the Latino/a studies minor enables you to communicate more effectively with your Latino colleagues and customers.
