Overview
Degree programs in Latin American Studies (LAS) at Latin American Studies have been granted to undergraduate and graduate students since as early as 1941, with one of the university's first doctoral degrees being granted in Latin American Studies.
Key Features
- Since 1979 the LAS program has been administered by the Latin American and Iberian Institute (LAII) in partnership with the College of Arts and Sciences, which confers LAS degrees.
- The LAS program draws on UNM's cross-campus longstanding excellence in research, scholarship and teaching on Latin America, and is dedicated to advancing knowledge in, and service to, the field.
Programme Structure
- Besides the interdisciplinary degrees offered by the Latin American Studies program, students at UNM may pursue disciplinary graduate degrees with a specialization on Latin America.
- Disciplines with substantial course offerings and faculty expertise in Latin America include Anthropology, Art History, Economics, History, Political Science, and Spanish and Portuguese. Prospective students interested in a disciplinary degree with a Latin American specialization should contact the appropriate department.
