The Program in Latin American and Iberian Studies offers interdisciplinary training leading to the bachelor of arts and master of arts degrees. The undergraduate program is designed for students broadly interested in the following areas: culture and art, professional careers in business or government, teaching professions in fields such as language or social science, and further academic study of Latin America, Spain, or Portugal

Latin American and Iberian studies may be taken as part of a double major in combination with another discipline such as history, anthropology, or economics, subject to an 8-unit limit on overlapping upper-division courses.

Students are encouraged to study abroad in Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, or Spain through the university's Education Abroad Program. Transfer credit may be given for study at other universities in Latin America, Spain, or Portugal.

Subject to prior approval by the advisory committee, students may receive academic credit for an internship in an international or development agency or other relevant employment. The internship will be done in conjunction with an independent study course supervised by a faculty member.
