Latin American Studies Programs
Website: <web.uvic.ca/latinamerican> Encompassing the enormous area of México to Tierra del Fuego, Latin America is home to an ethnically diverse and culturally vibrant population of over five hundred million. With a rich history extending over several centuries, Latin America is also a major player in the world economy. The Latin American Studies Program provides students with a broad interdisciplinary understanding of this important geocultural area and a command of the Spanish language. It offers Honours, Major and General and Minor programs in two streams leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts: the Language and Literature Concentration; the Interdisciplinary Concentration. Students are encouraged to develop specialized fields of expertise by combining these programs with concentrations in other disciplines such as Anthropology, Business, Education, Geography, History, History in Art, Political Science, and others (see “Faculty Program Requirements”).
