The major in Latin American and Caribbean studies allows students to design an interdisciplinary course of study around their interest in the region, drawing on a range of fields including politics, history, literature, anthropology, social and cultural analysis, art history, and more. The College of Arts and Science boasts a distinguished, dynamic faculty in Latin American and Caribbean studies. The program encourages students to study away at NYU Buenos Aires where a range of courses has been developed for majors, and equally encourages them to experience New York City as an eminently Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx metropolis. NYU also boasts rare and innovative programs in the study of Haitian Creole and of Quechua. Students benefit from the ample programming and resources of NYU’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS, as.nyu.educlacs) and the vast resources related to the region in the city. The undergraduate major is offered jointly by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and is administered by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese.
