The Bachelor of Arts degree in Latin American & Caribbean Studies provides a broad academic background with a deep regional focus, often in conjunction with a second major in a specific discipline, and a mastery of Spanish and other languages. The program enables students to take courses in a variety of departments as a part of their plan of study and can lay a strong foundation for graduate work. Students are encouraged to pursue graduation with honors in Latin American & Caribbean Studies. Prospective majors should begin language study in a Latin American Language of their choice as soon as possible. The intensive language program is recommended for those without high school preparation. Prospective majors are also encouraged to choose courses with Latin American content (for example, LAA 100, LAA 300, HIST 121) for College principal course distribution requirements. All students must be advised by the designated advisor of the program.
