Latin American and Caribbean Studies

About

Overview The Master of Arts in Latin American and Caribbean Studies from Florida International University is particularly valuable to those students whose research and professional interests cannot be accommodated within a single discipline. The program stresses a close faculty-student advising relationship. MALACS students study the religious, political, economic, social and cultural processes shaping Latin America and the Caribbean and emerge from the program with the expertise required to become leaders in a variety of fields, including education, government, non-government, business, and human and social services, among others. Areas of focus include, but are not limited to, comparative politics, comparative sociology, Cuban studies, cultural studies, economics, environmental studies, foreign policy and security studies, Haitian studies, Hispanic literature, history, international business, international development, international relations, and modern languages. Full-time students typically complete the program in two years, although it is possible to complete it in one and a half years.Why enroll in the Master of Arts in Latin American and Caribbean Studies?FIU’s location in Miami, a city known as “The Gateway to Latin America,” positions students close to the heart of the region, both physically and culturally, creating unique opportunities for study and research.
