Latin American Studies, M.A.

Students with little prior coursework on Latin America will benefit most from our interdisciplinary curriculum consisting of a core set of courses surveying the history, politics, society, and culture of the region along with advanced language training and in-depth courses dealing with the region. In consultation with a faculty advisor, students select a course of study suited to their individual interests. One may obtain a dual professional degree concurrently with the M.A.Prior graduates of the Latin American Studies master's degree program have gone into higher education, business and the private sector, government, and non-governmental organizations.
