USAID@LACC
Thanks to the LACC/USAID Minority-Serving Institution (MSI) Partnership Initiative, exchange between FIU and USAID is expanding exponentially and reaching new heights that benefit the entire FIU community.
Online BA
The fully online BA in Latin American and Caribbean Studies offers undergraduate students the ability to develop an interdisciplinary awareness and understanding of Latin America and the Caribbean. Candidates will select courses from their area of concentration which include Language and Culture, Governance and Security, Migration and Transient Communities, and others.
Bachelor of Arts Program
The B.A. in Latin American and Caribbean Studies offers undergraduate students the ability to develop an interdisciplinary awareness and understanding of the region. The program is available on campus or fully online.
Master of Arts Program
The Master of Arts in Latin American and Caribbean Studies (MALACS) is a unique interdisciplinary program that allows students to design their program based on their own research and career interests. The Program is particularly valuable to those students whose research and professional interests cannot be accommodated within a single discipline.
Brazilian Studies Program
The Program of Excellence in Brazilian Studies (PROBRAS) enhances academic and scholarly work throughout the university by strengthening ties between FIU and Brazilian academic, government and private sector institutions. This entails an active outreach program whereby LACC leverages FIU’s intellectual and financial resources to not only engage partners in Brazil but to promote and deepen our understanding of Brazil/US and Brazil/Florida relations.
