Certificate in Latinx Studies

Highlighting our commitment to diversity and our celebration of inclusive excellence, the DU/Iliff Joint PhD Program in the Study of Religion offers a 24 credit hour Certificate in Latinx Studies as part of the 90 credit hour PhD. Guided by faculty at both DU and Iliff, students consider questions of Latinx histories and culture from a theological and religious studies perspective and engage directly with Latinx communities through a variety of field placement and outreach opportunities. The main objective of the program is to prepare students to teach Latinx Studies, focusing on religion, theology, and social praxis.
