Bachelors in Latin American and Latino Studies

Students in the undergraduate program in Latin American and Latino Studies work closely with an adviser to develop an individual plan of study that combines breadth with a focus in one discipline (usually anthropology, history, politics or Hispanic studies).Students whose interests do not easily fit the courses available at Brandeis may arrange independent study with members of the staff. Students may also take advantage of the resources of neighboring institutions through the Boston Area Consortium on Latin America and the Greater Boston Latino Studies Connection. Courses may be taken at Boston College, Boston University, Tufts University and Wellesley College. Study in Latin America for a term or a year is encouraged.In the past, students have studied at universities in Argentina, Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Peru and Brazil, and other possibilities are available. Credit may also be obtained for internships in organizations related to Latin America.
