The Center for Latin American Studies supports 12 research and learning specializations that foster connection and collaboration around shared interests among faculty, students, and partners across and beyond UF. Specializations help students and advisors to navigate the vast and constantly shifting curricular landscape supporting Latin American Studies at UF.
Students in MALAS, LAS Certificate, MDP, TCD, and other programs are welcome to participate in the intellectual life and community of one or more specialization groups. Each MALAS student must complete 12 credits in one selected specialization.
