CLACS offers an interdisciplinary certificate, similar to a
minor, designed for students who want to learn about the cultures
and societies of our neighbors to the south, as well as for those
who are considering a career with involvement in the Latin American
and Caribbean area. Candidates in the studies program can
come from majors in any academic department in the University. The
student selects
courses dealing with Latin America and the Caribbean from
offerings in business, economics, education, government, languages
and literature, history, law, management, marketing, psychology,
theology, and other disciplines.
Students at the graduate level may also enroll in the
certificate program by itself. Students completing a Latin American
Studies Program have been very successful in obtaining employment
in international divisions and agencies of universities,
businesses, and the government. They are frequently hired by
multinational corporations, international health organizations,
social welfare programs, and public and private schools.
