For more than 60 years, UCLA has been a leader among U.S. universities in teaching and research on Latin America. The master of arts (MA) program in Latin American Studies offers graduate students the unique opportunity to pursue interdisciplinary research. Students design their own programs by choosing courses from various fields of study that focus on Latin America. Students can work with leaders in their chosen fields of study. The program features more than 100 affiliated faculty from multiple departments in the humanities, social sciences, fine arts, and several professional schools.
Information on the undergraduate program in this discipline, which offers a major and a minor in Latin American Studies, can be found in the International and Area Studies section.
