Capstone: Latin America

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

The capstone for the M.A. in Latin American Studies is a three-credit course that provides graduate students with an opportunity to demonstrate their comprehensive, integrated and interdisciplinary knowledge about Latin America and the Caribbean applied to a specific analytical question, case study, policy issue, new opportunity, emerging challenge, or project chosen by students in their respective concentrations. The outcome of the capstone course should be a professional deliverable that students can either use as a gateway to their professional careers upon graduation or as a means to advance in their current professions. Students should expect to be spending approximately 10-15 hours per week devoted to the capstone project, executing an applied, professional experience to conclude the Masters program.
