The undergraduate major in Latin American and Caribbean Studies encompasses people, social and cultural phenomena that transcend physical boundaries. The new major has a focus on multidisciplinary training on politics, history, culture, economy and society—multidisciplinary dialogues that are transnational yet remain anchored in the common historical experience of Latin American societies.

The Institute of Latin American Studies coordinates the major and offers access to research support, study abroad options, and linkages and credits toward the new MA program in Latin American and Caribbean Studies.
