拉丁美洲研究的文学硕士要求课程内容具有拉丁美洲的内容或与该领域密切相关的主题。MA的候选人选择论文（24学期加6论文小时）或非论文（33小时）选项。每个选项都需要完成LAS 5901-研究研讨会（这是一个跨学科研讨会，重点是研究方法和拉丁美洲主义者的参考材料的使用）。硕士研究生有望以西班牙语，葡萄牙语，海地克里奥尔语或Kichele Maya证明其语言能力。这意味着您会熟练使用四种语言中的一种，而需要中等语言来使用另一种。通过该计划，所有被录取的学生都将获得全额资助，其中包括每月的助学金和健康保险。
The master of arts (M.A.) in Latin American studies requires coursework and a master's thesis with Latin American content or with subject matter that is closely related to the area. Candidates for the M.A. must complete LAS 5901- Research Seminar, an interdisciplinary seminar which focuses on research methodologies and materials for Latin Americanists. Master's degree candidates are expected to demonstrate language competence in Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole or Kiche Maya. This means advanced proficiency in one of the four languages and intermediate proficiency in another. The program will accept admissions for 2021 exclusively through our FLAS Academic Year Program.
