Bachelors in Latin American Studies

Like the region itself, Latin American studies is a dynamic program that encompasses Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as the Latinx community in North America. Grounded in socially engaged scholarship, our program brings an interdisciplinary lens to understanding the region s peoples, cultures, languages, literatures, and traditions, along with its economy, environment, history, and relations with other regions. Students graduating with a major in Latin American studies have chosen a wide range of career paths in fields that include bilingual education, business, government, human rights advocacy, immigration law, journalism, and nongovernmental organizations. Our program also creates a strong foundation for students to pursue graduate education in Latin American studies or its related disciplines.
