Latin American Studies Program (LASP)
Based in San Jose, Costa Rica, the Latin American Studies Program introduces students to a wide range of experiences through the study of the language, literature, culture, politics, history, economics, ecology, and religion of the region.
Through service learning and living with local families, students become a part of the day-to-day lives of Latin Americans.
Students also take part in a service opportunity and travel for three weeks to nearby Central American nations.
Students participate in one of four concentrations:
- Latin American Studies (offered both fall and spring terms)
- Advanced Language and Literature (designed for Spanish majors and offered both fall and spring terms)
- International Business: Management and Marketing (offered only in fall terms)
- Environmental Science (offered only during spring terms)
Depending on their concentration, students travel to nearby Central American nations including Nicaragua, Guatemala, Cuba, and Panama.
