Overview

Program Details

The Latin American and Caribbean Studies program at Hofstra University features courses from departments throughout the University, and it also offers senior seminars and opportunities for independent coursework and study abroad.

By studying the geography, politics, economies, histories, cultures, and literatures of Latin American and Caribbean countries, LACS majors develop a solid knowledge of the region and its relations with both the United States and Europe. This knowledge is indispensable in this modern era of integrated economies and societies, increasingly shaped by immigration and the coexistence of diverse cultures.

A LACS major or minor would be an asset to any student planning a career in business, law, communications, travel, government, nongovernment organizations, environmental organizations, and other areas.
