The interdisciplinary GLIS-LAC and the interdisciplinary minor in Latin American and Caribbean Studies prepare students to think critically, deploy insights from multiple disciplines, and draw upon diverse types of information to understand both the forces that shape people’s lives and livelihoods in the region and the ways that people respond. Education abroad and internship experiences exponentially deepen students’ understanding of the region, as well as their language skills.
The skill sets and knowledge base that students develop via these programs provide a strong foundation for a range of career paths. Graduates from these academic programs have secured jobs in international business, government agencies, inter-governmental organizations (e.g., United Nations, Organization of American States), the non-profit sector within the US and internationally, and the field of education.
To support our students’ career preparation, CLACS curates the following lists of organizations that offer relevant internship and employment opportunities:
