LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES
The program in Latin American studies is a multidisciplinary
major leading to the B.A. degree.
The appeal of this field of study has greatly increased over the
last decade, due to the region's growing economic and political
importance. A degree in the major is appropriate for employment
in many fields, among which are the diplomatic service and
overseas business as well as graduate study in various
disciplines. Students electing the major will also broaden their
awareness of non-Western cultures and history.
