This sample shows just one possible pathway to earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Latin American, Caribbean, & U.S. Latinx Studies and a Master of Arts in Translation (Spanish to English) in five years. This plan does not replace the advice of your LACUSL advisor or your College Undergraduate Advisor.
