Latino/a, Latin American and Caribbean Studies Minor
The LLACS, (Latin American, and Caribbean Studies) program offers an interdisciplinary minor. It explores the historical, cultural, political, and economic foundations of and linkages between US Latino society, Latin America, and the Caribbean. It draws from the heritages of the Americas that are grounded in predominantly indigenous, African, and European cultures.
Open to all students, the program is taught by faculty from ten different departments at Northeastern University. This program training is vital for careers in fields such as public policy, politics, criminal justice, social and human services, education, language arts, media, journalism, communications, health services, international development, finance, law, and diplomacy. Ultimately, students with a minor in LLACS have an extra edge in the job market over students with a more generalized education.
