Concentration and Schedules

Concentrations

The MARSLAC program gives students the flexibility to focus on both the disciplines and themes that interest them. Students choose one (or a few related) disciplines from which to study Latin America and the Caribbean, for example history, economics, sociology, political science, or anthropology.  Through these disciplinary lenses, students explore specific topics, for example development, political transitions, or migration. Students also can focus on a specific country or region.
