The Latin American and Caribbean Studies program offers students a broad sampling of courses from numerous academic disciplines, which enables comprehensive and integrated study of Latin American and Caribbean histories, cultures, politics and languages. Within the program, the Brazilian studies concentration enables students to focus their intellectual inquiry on this increasingly influential country, placing the Brazilian experience in regional perspective. The major is sponsored by the joint efforts of professors from such departments as Anthropology, Geography, History, Modern Foreign Languages and Literatures, Political Science, Religious Studies, and Sociology.
