Latin American Studies Interdisciplinary - Albright College

Latin American Studies Interdisciplinary from Albright College is a Campus Bachelor Latin American Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Latin America and the Caribbean have always occupied a place of unique and singular importance for the United States. For instance, the Panama Canal, the economic embargo of Cuba, NAFTA, preservation of the Amazon rainforests, drug trafficking, etc., are just a few of the many subjects that have consumed the imaginations, the interests, and the energies of U.S. business people, politicians, students and even tourists. In fact, the regions of North, Central, and South America, including the Caribbean, are becoming ever more intertwined culturally, linguistically, economically and politically. The interdisciplinary concentration in Latin American studies consists of a 12-course curriculum that combines core, track and elective courses. The core requirements are Introduction to Latin American Studies (LAS 225), which should be taken within the first two years of academic work at Albright, and the Senior Seminar in Latin American Studies (LAS 400), which should be taken in the junior or senior year. After taking Introduction to Latin American Studies (LAS 225), students will declare a primary and secondary track from the two tracks (Group A or Group B). Group A consists of courses that focus more on the arts and humanities, and Group B consists of courses that focus more on the social and natural sciences.
