Bachelor of Arts in Latin American and Carribean Studies

Program Overview

Are you interested in exploring the Amazonian rainforest? How are Latin American nations dealing with the contagious diseases? Do you want to know more about the people that built the ancient Mayan ruins of Tikal or Palenque?  How did soccer become so popular in Latin America, but why do Dominicans and Cubans love baseball more? Why is China so interested in economic opportunities in Latin America? These are the questions that spur students to take classes in Latin American Studies.

Latin American nations account for almost two thirds of the total population of the Western Hemisphere. Today, Latinos and Latin-Americans represent the largest minority group in the United States, accounting for sixteen percent of the population. Knowledge of Latin American and Caribbean cultures, environment, and society are crucial to U.S. hemispheric relations and world understanding. For over fifty years, the Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies (CLACS) has provided KU students the opportunity to study this region and its peoples and encourage the development of foreign language, research, writing, and critical thinking skills.
