BACKGROUND NOTE
The Latin American Area
Studies Program first appeared in the 1976/78 general catalog. The
program description has changed little since its beginnings.
The Latin American Area
Studies Program is designed to enable students to cross college and
departmental lines to pursue, with the study of Spanish, a coordinated
study of the geographical, cultural, socio-economic and political life
of Latin American countries.
The program is
primarily vocational. The curriculum is tailored for those desiring a
Latin American background in conjunction with a disciplinary
specialization in fields such as history, economics, political science,
geography, anthropology, Spanish American literature and sociology, or
in one of the professional colleges. As a result, the student will
normally carry a major in a particular discipline such as Food and
Nutrition or Agronomy together with the Latin American Area Studies
program.
This program provides
preparation for additional vocational opportunities in agriculture,
family and consumer sciences, nursing, Foreign Service, Peace Corps,
international business and numerous positions with government, the
United Nations and private corporations involved with or in Latin
America. It also facilitates improved communication and understanding
between the peoples of these countries and the United States.
