This week I came across a really neat site while searching the Web that has to do with a Latin American center here on campus.
The UA Center for Latin American Studies has 100 faculty members and more than 120 courses available for its students. Its main concentration is focused on Brazil, Environmental Studies, Mexico, Border Studies, Indigenous Studies, and Women's Studies.
Joint with Arizona State University's Latin American Studies, the center is filed under the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences provides research programs and school outreaches.
Located in the Marshall Building, the Center for Latin American Studies contributes curriculum units, books, videos, and a vast online resource center that is given to K-12 educators, teachers, and university professors.
Some of the centers excellence and achievements include the U.S. Department of Education Title VI Foreign Language and Area Studies Program's outreach grant for three years now.
The following are some reasons to major in Latin American Studies:
*Variety of courses available for students
*Spanish language skills
*Interesting speakers
*Study abroad opportunities
*Opportunities to gain internship experience
*Exposed to a interdisciplinary setting
*Financial aid support
*Camaraderie and personal aid and attention from students and teachers
The center also offers a strong online curriculum that provides complete units available to its students. Some of the topics that are available for concentration for the online curriculum include: Mariachi music, the Tango, Carnaval, and Day of the Dead.
