Master of Arts Program The Master of Arts in Latin American and Caribbean Studies (MALACS) responds to the demand for multidisciplinary approaches to the study of Latin America and the Caribbean. The objective of the program is to prepare graduates for careers in the public and private sectors. Many graduates also continue on to doctoral-level studies in various academic disciplines. While the program is strongest in the social sciences, it also allows students to concentrate their study in a number of other areas. The program is structured so that students concentrate half their courses in one disciplinary or topical area. These concentrations include Andean studies, Brazilian studies, Caribbean studies, comparative politics, comparative sociology, Cuban studies, cultural studies, economics, environmental studies, foreign policy and security studies, Haitian studies, Hispanic literature and film, history, international business, international and comparative law, international development, and international relations. Full-time students can expect to complete the program in 12-24 months. The program stresses a close faculty-student advising relationship and includes the participation of visiting scholars from Latin America, the Caribbean, and other regions. In addition to the MALACS degree, LACC also administers joint JD/MALACS and MBA/MALACS degree programs that allow the student to receive both degrees in substantially less time than would be required to pursue each degree individually. LACC also administers a partnership degree program with the Joint Forces Staff College.
