The Latin American, Caribbean, and Iberian Studies Program is one of the major U.S. centers for research about Latin America. This program is for those who seek a multidisciplinary education on Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, and Portugal. It offers a wide range of courses in fields such as anthropology, business, economics, geography, history, journalism, music, political science, sociology, Spanish and Portuguese, and indigenous languages such as Yucatec Maya.
The aims of the Latin American, Caribbean, and Iberian studies major are to provide:
- A broad exposure to Latin American, Caribbean, and Iberian studies by requiring students to take area and language content courses;
- Basic working knowledge in Spanish and/or Portuguese;
- Flexibility which allows students to take courses of interest, study abroad, and develop innovative academic projects; and
- Career-related advice and opportunities including volunteer work and internships with international organizations.
Students should contact the undergraduate advisor to determine which courses may satisfy major requirements. A minimum of 40 credits is required for the LACIS major. Upon declaration of the LACIS major, an assessment file is opened for each student which will include:
- The development and submission of an "area of concentration,"
- Writing samples,
