welcome to the latin american & latino studies program

Students majoring in Latino American & Latino Studies will examine the culture, economics, politics, history, society and other crucial life experiences of the peoples of Latin America and their diaspora in the United States. You will also receive the necessary skills to obtain employment or enter graduate schools to pursue advanced degrees in anthropology, economics, history, political science, sociology, ethnic studies, international studies, law and international law, Latin American studies, social work, bilingual education, health and other disciplines.

To permit students to complement their education in other majors with a knowledge of Latin America and the Latino communities of the U.S., the program also offers a minor in Latin American and Latino Studies.
