Latino/Latin American Studies (LLS) is an interdisciplinary academic program that seeks to combine academic excellence with real-world engagement in order to enhance our understanding of Latinos in the United States and Latin American societies, and prepare students to be well-informed and active critical thinkers in an increasingly multicultural and transnational United States.<br>Our program prepares undergraduate students for a wide variety of career options. A major in Latino/Latin American Studies (LLS) or a minor in Chicano/Latino Studies (CLS) are particularly useful to those students planning a career in public service, non-profits, education, law, health, counseling, and business. LLS offers student research, a variety of national and international learning experiences, and internship opportunities which help prepare them for their chosen careers and graduate school.
