Latin American and Caribbean Studies

About the Program

Latin American and Caribbean Studies is an interdisciplinary program that offers students the opportunity to learn about the history, culture, politics, society, and political economy of the region and its relations with the United States. The LACS program has been able to develop an innovative outreach program with Afro-Latino and Caribbean non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in New York City and throughout the Latin American and Caribbean region. In collaboration with the Hunter College Study Abroad Office, the program offers a January semester abroad program with Universidade Salvador-UNIFACS in Bahia, Brazil. The course is taught in English and is titled “Reconstructing a Racial Identity.”
