Latin American Studies - Albright College

Latin American Studies 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 Latin American studies program is a five course curriculum. In either their first or second year of study, students must take the Introduction to Latin American Studies course (LAS 225). In the third or fourth year of study, students must take the core seminar on Latin America (LAS 400). Students must also take, at any point in their four years at Albright, three Latin American and/or Caribbean content courses listed across the curriculum. For the program option only, students are permitted to "double-count" these courses as fulfilling both the Latin American studies program requirements and either general studies requirements or the particular requirements of any degree program.
