With a minor or specialization in LACS<\/em>, students exploring job opportunities or considering graduate studies, will have the potential to stand out from other applicants. They will develop a strong level of expertise through a program of study that introduces students to the history, economy, politics, culture, and environment of both Latin America and the Caribbean within the global system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developing regional expertise provides students with the tools necessary to challenge hegemonic narratives and to explore ways in which Latin America and the Caribbean social and political thought have influenced perspectives and realities of these regions.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are in Journalism or History, Political Science or Literature, Global and Internal Studies or the Humanities, the undergraduate program in Latin American and Caribbean Studies promises to bring value to your academic program in a way that will serve you long after you have graduated.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
