This interdisciplinary major introduces peoples, cultures, and resources of Latin America and the Caribbean. Faculty recommend that majors participate in Rollins overseas programs to this region for at least one semester. Coursework at Rollins and abroad prepares majors for careers in business, government, library research, or other professions.
Some graduates also pursue degrees in Latin American studies, international affairs, and business.
Half of these electives must be at the 300-400 level. The LACA faculty committee considers, on an individual basis, substitution of courses taken abroad. Transfer and other Rollins students should note that they may need more than two years to complete requirements for this major. IF SPN 301 is waived because of advanced proficiency. Courses taken to fulfill core requirements may not count as electives.
