Latin American Studies

The Latin American Studies concentration allows students to develop the professional skills and gain the knowledge necessary to establish a lasting and successful relationship with public or private sector organizations in Latin America and/or in the United States. The program provides opportunities to explore diverse areas of study related to the region, including anthropology, archeology, art, dance, economics, film, geography, history, language, literature, muralism, music, politics, and popular cultures. The program welcomes students with specific goals in international fields as well as students who would complement this degree with a second major or minor, especially in technical areas such as Appropriate Technology, Computers, Natural Resources, and Environmental Studies. Finally, the program provides the basic foundations for further graduate work in Latin American Studies.

For a complete description of the requirements for this concentration and relevant courses, see International Studies in the HSU Catalog.
