American Studies is an interdisciplinary program designed to
encourage the examination of Latin America and the Caribbean:
their people, cultures, society, languages, literature, traditions,
history, economy, and relations with other areas. The major
uses the perspectives provided by several disciplines to examine
the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central and South America, as well
as the areas of Spanish colonization in North America, and the
peoples of Latin American ancestry currently resident in the
United States. Latin American Studies offers courses in history,
folklore and culture, literature, economics, politics, sociology,
and anthropology. The major can provide students with some of
the background necessary for careers in teaching, bilingual
education, social work, government or international organizations,
business, journalism, and specialized non-profit organizations,
as well as for further graduate work in Latin American Studies
or its related disciplines.
