Latinx Studies at Seminary of the Southwest
For more than four decades Seminary of the Southwest has offered Latino/Hispanic studies as part of its curriculum. Today, all students who attend Southwest participate in our institutional commitment to Latinx communities and ministries. Seminarians who are preparing for ministry and service in Latinx communities enroll in our distinctive concentration curriculum.
