Latin American & Caribbean Studies
Available as a concentration
By deepening your personal experience of Latin America and the Caribbean, you'll be able to better understand issues surrounding this vital and historic region. Roanoke's program draws from perspectives across campus, from public affairs and business to literary studies and sociology. Because of a surprising lack of knowledge in the U.S. about this dynamic region, understanding its culture can be an advantage in many careers.
Students in the Latin American and Caribbean Studies concentration have recently traveled to Cuba, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica for research opportunities.
