Latin American Studies is an interdisciplinary program designed to provide undergraduate students with a broad understanding of Latin American cultures and history. The program addresses anthropological, cultural, environmental, gendered, historical, political, and theological approaches to studying Latin America. After completing six courses that examine Latin America from a minimum of three disciplinary perspectives, students will have a deeper understanding of American diversity - of Latino communities in and out of the U.S. - and a greater appreciation of marginalized and less privileged peoples across the region.
