Latin American & Caribbean Studies - Area Certificate in Latin American and Caribbean Studies (AC)

Why should you consider a certificate in Latin American and Caribbean Studies?

Because Latin America and the Caribbean are the site of innovative ideas and new approaches to old problems. Did you know that in Brazil most cars have run on ethanol for decades?

Because Latin America and the Caribbean help us better understand our own countries and cultures. The solutions Latin Americans have come up with to our common problems and issues are often very different than those tried out in the U.S. By understanding Latin America, we can gain fresh ideas to address our problems at home.

Because we are part of Latin America and the Caribbean. Did you know that the United States has the second-most Spanish speakers of any country on Earth?

Because expertise in this world region and one of its languages (Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, Maya, or Quechua) can open doors to careers in business, education, government, nonprofit management, social work, journalism, and much more.
