Latin American and Caribbean Studies is an interdisciplinary program
that offers a wide array of courses on Latin America, the Caribbean,
and related diasporas in the United States. The program coordinates
courses from departments throughout the University; it also offers
senior seminars and opportunities for independent course work.
By studying the geography, politics, economies, histories, cultures,
and literatures of Latin American and Caribbean countries, LACS majors
develop a solid knowledge of the region and its relations with both the
United States and Europe. This knowledge is indispensable in the modern
era of integrated economies and societies increasingly shaped by
immigration and the coexistence of diverse cultures. Majoring in Latin
American and Caribbean Studies thus prepares students to be more
informed and effective citizens. It also prepares them for careers in
translation, international business, law, and government, as well as
for advanced study in Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and in the
sub-fields that feed into it, such as geography, history, political
science, or literature and culture, or communication.
