Welcome to the Latin American Studies Program at Tufts

Latin American Studies is increasingly important in the world and for the United States in particular. Latin American Studies is an Interdisciplinary program which encourages students to integrate the varying disciplinary perspectives of the arts, literature, social sciences, and history, along with the study of languages of the area, into a coherent view of Latin America.
