Overview

The Latino and Latin American Studies program at Occidental Colleges extends the study of “Latin America” beyond the geo-political borders of the region to include the Caribbean and the U.S., emphasizing the importance of migrations, interethnic interactions, and cultural exchanges of indigenous, European, African, and Asian peoples throughout the Americas.

The transnational perspective of our curriculum distinguishes the LLAS major from more traditional area studies programs.

You’ll also be able to take advantage of Oxy’s location in Los Angeles by taking part in community-based learning and cultural activities within local Latino/a and Latin American communities. The department also hosts a yearly LLAS Speaker and Event Series.

Career

The LLAS program prepares you for graduate school as well as for a variety of career paths, including government and other public service, education, community organizing, public history museums and cultural centers, law, business and social work.
