Connecticut College students are encouraged to pursue related Pathways and participate in study-away programs, SATA, and TRIPs, after consultation with departmental faculty. We also encourage students to complete a global or local internship, or individual or faculty/student research project related to Latin America or Latinos in the United States. With departmental approval, up to two courses taken at another institution may be accepted from endorsed study-away programs and three from a Latin American and Latino Studies program relating to Latin America or Latinos in the United States.
