The
Latin American & Caribbean Studies Program Latin
American & Caribbean Studies is an
interdisciplinary program that offers students the opportunity to learn
about the history, culture, politics, society and economics of the region
and the region's relations with the United States. In the context of
a growing and dynamic Caribbean and Latin American population in New
York City, the program enables students to seek knowledge and an understanding
of the origins of these peoples and their settlement in this country.
The specialization in Latin American & Caribbean Studies as a major
leading to a BA degree consists of 36 credits: 24 core credits for the
major and 12 credits for the minor. The core courses for the major are
drawn from the social sciences and the humanities and the arts. Students
select courses from the major and minor components in consultation with
the program's director or with a member of the Latin American & Caribbean
Studies Committee serving as an advisor. The interdisciplinary specialization
of the major, combined with the minor's emphasis on a traditional discipline,
serves the program's graduates well, whether they choose to seek employment
in public or private organizations, to pursue a professional degree,
or go on for graduate degree in the social sciences or humanities. ________________________________________
