Learning Goals for Latinx and Latin American Studies

Latinx and Latin American Studies (LLAS) is an interdisciplinary major designed for students interested in critically examining the diverse ­­­histories and cultures of Latin America, the Caribbean, and U.S. Latinxs. Students in the major gain breadth and depth of learning through courses in the humanities and the social sciences that situate these histories and cultures within local, national, regional, hemispheric, and global contexts over time. Practical experiences, such as community projects and study abroad, provide opportunities to apply this learning in transformative ways.
