Washington
University offers a major and a minor in International
and Area Studies on the Latin American track.
This fast-growing major offers a very strong,
multidisciplinary component that allows students
to develop a complete understanding of the region,
with classes encompassing culture, history, politics,
anthropology and many other areas. I addition,
the major and the minor accommodate credits from
our study abroad programs in Mexico, Chile and
Ecuador, as well as Latin American-based SIT programs,
so we offer the exciting chance to do a substantial
part of your major abroad:
• One core civilization class (Latin American
Studies 165) (3 credits)
• Crossing Borders I and II (3 credits each
for a total of 6 credits)
• 18 credits of advanced course work with
Latin American content offered by at least three
different departments, e.g. History, Political
Science, Anthropology, Romance Languages and Literatures.
• At least 3 credits must be at the 400
level. No more that 3 credits may be from directed
readings, research or internships excluding the
honors thesis. (18 credits)
• Although 3 to 9 300 level credits may
be satisfied with courses taught in Study Abroad
programs, 400 level credit must be earned on campus
or in WU courses taught abroad that have been
specifically designated and approved by disciplines
involved.
• The 18 advanced units must be unique to
the IAS major.
• Students whose prime major is IAS must
participate in a capstone experience. This may
take the form of an honors thesis, completion
of a senior project, or successful completion
of a specially designated 400 level course. All
of these options are available for credit and
may fulfill the 400 level credit requirement.
• Total is a minimum of 27 graded units
plus 4 semesters of a Latin American language.
