Development Studies in Latin America

Students will be able to build their own program according to their own interests thanks to the several elective courses we offer for this fall/spring program. You can choose from our courses on human rights, the environment, or a combination of the two!

There are two core and mandatory courses in this program. One is Spanish language (all levels offered!), and the other is titled “Community Engagement and Sustainable Human Development,” which is a service-learning course in which you would participate in community work (in an area that that interests you).

To learn more about the courses we offer please send us an inquiry.
