Latin American Studies
Latin American Studies brings together knowledge from the humanities, (e.g., languages, literature, film studies, history), the social sciences (e.g., anthropology, sociology, political science, political geography, communication/language sciences) and environmental studies to allow students to build a foundation in the aesthetic, cultural, economic, environmental, geographical, historical, linguistic, political, and social contexts of Latin America.
About
In addition to providing breadth in Latin American studies through coursework across multiple disciplines, the program also emphasizes depth in understanding through study abroad and a concentration in a focused problem, topic, area, discipline or method. Students develop language skills, cross-cultural understanding, an interdisciplinary approach and the ability to incorporate Latin American perspectives in their analysis of fields including art, development, environmental conservation, history, language, literature and politics.
