Overview

Our wide range of concentrations allows students of the Latin American Studies program at The University of New Mexico to customize their individual program of study to best suit their academic and professional goals. The MALAS is used by some students to prepare for graduate training in a specific discipline at the PhD level or in a professional school. Other students use the MALAS as an entry-level degree for careers in government service, teaching, business, travel and tourism, advocacy, or inter-American organizations.
Master's students craft their degree program by focusing on certain areas of concentration. Listed below are the concentrations from which students may choose. Students may also work with the Associate Director for Academic Programs to create an ad hoc concentration not on the list.
