Overview

Latin American and Caribbean Studies from Roanoke College draws from perspectives across campus, from public affairs and business to literary studies and sociology. Because there's a surprising lack of knowledge in the United States about this dynamic region, understanding its culture can be an advantage for you in many careers.

Learning Goals

Students in the Latin American and Caribbean Studies concentration have recently traveled to Cuba, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica for research opportunities. Their research has ranged from the economic role of Mexican sweatshops to the literature of Latin American writers living in the United States.

Latin American and the Caribbean Studies can lead to jobs in journalism, advertising, environmental advocacy, education and government work. Recent students from Roanoke's program have pursued graduate school at Arizona State University, University of California Los Angeles and University of San Diego.
