All students must take three of the four core courses, and three credit electives. Core courses are:

Students are strongly encouraged to take additional coursework in their area of interest, and to take advantage of UL Lafayette's study abroad programs in Mexico, and/or with the AHA programs in Latin America, with whom we have a relationship. Federal financial aid applies to all UL Lafayette and AHA programs. COURSES Courses university wide with at least 50% Latin America related content, count as LAS courses. We define "Latin America" broadly to include the Caribbean, as well as the Spanish period in what is now the United States. If you are teaching, or taking a course with this much Latin America related content and it is not listed here, please contact las@louisiana.edu. All of the following courses count for LAS credit when their primary focus is Latin America. Additional courses in rubrics such as Anthropology, Economics, Honors, Humanities, Political Science, Sociology, as well as other disciplines may also be considered for LAS credit.
