Discover Latin America
The Latin American Studies Program promotes opportunities for students to deepen their understanding of the region through a variety of courses, campus activities, internships, and firsthand overseas learning experiences. Through the Kellogg Institute, the program offers a calendar of cultural events, summer research and internship grants, current affairs panels and regular talks on Latin America by Notre Dame faculty and visiting lecturers. In addition, the Institute brings several Visiting Fellows each semester who are from Latin America or who specialize in the region; these fellows visit classes and meet with students.
The core of the program is a minor in Latin American studies.
