Graduate Program

Overview

CLACS offers a unique, interdisciplinary Master of Arts program in Latin American and Caribbean studies with five options: (1) Latin American and Caribbean studies; (2) Latin American and Caribbean studies with a concentration in museum studies; (3) Latin American and Caribbean studies with an advanced certificate in museum studies; (4) a dual degree M.A.-J.D. program with the NYU School of Law; and (5) a joint M.A. program with the NYU Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute. The program is eminently suitable for students honing their area studies knowledge before continuing on for a Ph.D. in the humanities or social sciences, or for those aiming directly for careers in journalism, museum work, Latin American-focused work in government, area-focused NGOs, or international law, business, or development. Each of these options has slightly different admission requirements, so applicants are encouraged to check with each of the programs of interest before applying.
