The Latin American Studies Program offers a broad and flexible interdisciplinary approach designed to provide a compre\u0002hensive understanding of Latin America. The curriculum leads to the Associate in Arts degree with a major in Latin American studies that transfers to private and public four-year colleges and universities. This major can lead to careers in government, foreign service, law, international business, journalism and many other fields after obtain\u0002ing the Bachelor of Arts and/or Master of Arts degrees. The following areas of knowledge are central to the Associate's degree in Latin American studies: knowledge and understanding of the major historical, cultural, social, political, and economic problems facing the Latin American community; knowledge of chief historical factors that gave rise to existing institutions and processes; an informed awareness of literature, art, and music in Latin America, including familiarity with the work of several recognized Latin American artists and authors. In addition, students completing the degree in Latin American studies are expected to acquire reading and speaking ability in Spanish; the ability to engage in thoughtful dialogue about Latin America with educated Latin Americans; the ability to locate Latin American ideas, historical events, and cultural phenomena in the Latin American context from which they originate; and in the ability to communicate competently in effective English prose. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ASSOCIATE OF ARTS DEGREE Satisfaction of the regular transfer and college requirements for the Associate Degree. Contact the Counseling Office for additional information. 1. Demonstrated proficiency in Spanish (successful completion of SPANISH 004 or SPANISH 036). 2. Successful completion of one course from each of the designated concentrations. 3. Latin American Studies majors are strongly encouraged to include a study abroad semester or summer in their academic program. TRANSFER STUDENTS Completing the Associate Degree does not necessarily meet the university-admission requirements for transfer. An Associate Degree is not a requirement for transfer to either the CSU or UC campuses. Private and out-of-state colleges and universities have unique transfer requirements. However, if you would like to transfer to a university and earn an associate degree, early educational planning can make this goal achievable. You should meet with a counselor early in your studies to develop an Educational Plan that fulfills both transfer requirements and associate degree requirements.\n\nPlease see the college Catalog for the most up-to-date description."},"ceterms:accreditedBy":["_:0b4c3e20-b959-49fb-ba41-efc31978acd6"],"ceterms:dateEffective":"1995-06-01","ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.bls.gov/soc/","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/25-1062.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"25-1062.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Area, Ethnic, and Cultural Studies Teachers, Postsecondary"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Teach courses pertaining to the culture and development of an area, an ethnic group, or any other group, such as Latin American studies, women's studies, or urban affairs.
