We pursue this mission through formal academic programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels, faculty and student exchanges, scholarly conferences and colloquia, support of faculty and graduate student research, and public outreach programs. UConn, Brown and Yale offer B. A. degrees in Latin American Studies, while UMass offers an undergraduate certificate and minor. UConn offers an M.A. in Latin American Studies, although study at Master's level is also available at the other schools through discipline-based programs.
Doctoral study is available at each partner school.
Each campus provides instruction in Spanish and Portuguese. Our faculty, which number approximately 130, include some of the most distinguished scholars working on Latin America and the Caribbean today as well as promising younger scholars. They offer courses in traditional disciplines, as well as in professional programs for business, law, forestry and environmental studies, health and medicine, and region planning. As active researchers, our faculty also help connect our students to research and study opportunities in all areas of Latin America and the Caribbean. Outreach programs extend the range and impact of our faculty, students and resources to thousands of people yearly.
