Five College Certificate in Latin American Studies

The Five College Certificate in Latin American Studies enhances rather than replaces the more traditional major, minor, or certificate available at the individual schools and can complement the sudent's major field of study. Under the guidance of an appointed faculty advisor for the program at each campus, students design a sequential, coordinated and comprehensive course of study drawing on the faculty specialists and course offerings at the five campuses. The program is overseen by the Five College Latin American Studies Council, whose members include faculty representatives from each campus.

Any degree-seeking student is eligible to earn the Certificate. Interested students must consult initially with an advisor for the program at their own home campus, to confirm their eligibility and plan out an appropriate course of study. The home-campus advisor for the program also determines whether a student has met the requirements, and recommends the award of a formal certificate, which is recorded on the student's transcript. Completed applications for the certificate must be signed by the home campus advisor, who will bring the application to the Five College Latin American Studies Certificate Program committee.
