Rutgers University's graduate program in Latin American History ranks as one of the best in the United States. It is both geographically and topically comprehensive.
Faculty members specialize in Argentina, Brazil, the Caribbean, and Mexico.
The faculty is particularly strong in nineteenth and twentieth century studies. There is also a strong emphasis on comparative approaches to history. In addition, the Latin American group has strong ties to the women's history and global history programs, and the Department of Puerto Rican and Hispanic Caribbean Studies. Latin Americanists frequently opt for minor fields in Women's and Gender , and Comparative and Global History. The Rutgers Graduate School at New Brunswick and the graduate history program offer long-term, provisionally guaranteed funding to students with strong records of academic achievement and scholarly promise.
