Bachelor's Degree
The Latin American Studies program equips students with an in-depth knowledge of Latin America and the Caribbean, covering their historical, cultural, linguistic, economic, political, and social aspects. To complete the major, students must earn 36 credits, which includes 6 foreign language credits. Many students pair this major with complementary disciplines from other departments. Beyond traditional coursework, LAS students engage with guest scholars, attend academic events, and participate in study abroad programs. The program mandates proficiency in two Latin American languages and recommends, though doesn't require, spending a semester abroad in the region.
