The Latin American Studies Program offers both a B.A. and a minor designed to prepare undergraduate students for careers as Latin American studies specialists. This interdisciplinary program provides students with comprehensive training in Spanish language and literature as well as Latin American history, politics, geography, anthropology, and Portuguese. In addition, all students are encouraged to attend a semester or winter session at a Latin American site.
Many career opportunities are open to students who major in Latin American Studies. Because of their linguistic training and in-depth knowledge of the area, graduates of the program often seek employment in government, including the foreign service, international business and banking, and non-governmental organizations that work extensively in Latin America. In addition, graduates are well prepared to pursue advanced degrees either in Latin American Studies or in a particular discipline.
