BA in Latin American with Co-operative Education

Note: A Minor is offered in Latin American Studies.

Building upon the University's historical strength in issues relating to Latin America, this state-of-the-art degree program offers students diverse learning environments, and seeks to maximize opportunities for students to experience Latin America first-hand. The program stresses: the development of a critical and informed view of Latin America; linguistic skills; independent research and writing abilities; and cultural sensitivity based on a semester of study in Latin America. This major program prepares students for work in the public and private sectors in Canada that deal with Latin American countries and cultures. Graduates may find work opportunities in the diplomatic and the civil service, business, journalism, teaching and tourism.

Students may wish to consider combining the Latin American Studies Major with a disciplinary major, another interdisciplinary major, or a disciplinary or interdisciplinary minor. The same course may not be counted toward two Majors or a Major and a Minor.
