Undergraduate Coursework in Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S. Latinx Studies

LACUSL coursework is unique to each scholar. It is built by taking courses across campus departments, which is unique to interdisciplinary programs like ours. This means scholars may take courses in African and African Diaspora Studies, History, Theatre, Political Science, Spanish and more! Courses from other departments are independent of LACUSL but count towards our program.
