Latin American & Latino Studies at Stetson University

Latin American & Latino Studies at Stetson University The Latin American & Latino Studies program at Stetson develops experientially based understanding of our neighbors' diverse cultures.

Latin American & Latino Studies at Stetson University is a multi-disciplinary and experientially-oriented program that develops students’ understanding of the region's social, cultural, political, and economic systems. The minor is particularly valuable for students planning to live and work in the region or in states with strong Hispanic ties. Latin America is an area of ever-growing importance t

o the United States, and Florida is a primary gateway to the region. Courses in Latin American Studies are taught by specialists in economics, environmental science, language, literature, political science, sociology and theater arts. The program’s experiential component includes several off-campus programs in Latin America such as internships, field courses and summer sessions
abroad. Program students have studied and completed internships in Guatemala, Peru, Mexico, Belize, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Ecuador, and Puerto Rico.

Get to know this year's Mentored Field Experience recipients, who will be traveling to Puebla, Mexico with Dr. Deckman next week!

The MFE began at Stetson in 1995, fully funded by alumnus Mark Hollis ’56, a former trustee. The program covers the expenses of three or four students each summer on professor-led trips to South America, Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Over the years, MFE students, selected after a competitive interview and evaluation process, have traveled to Argentina, Belize, Brazil, Ecuador, Guatemala, Peru, Puerto Rico and Uruguay.

Before visiting a country, the students spend the spring semester in the classroom, preparing for the trip by learning the history, politics and culture of the nation, as well as submitting a research proposal. During the trip, the students collect data for those projects, culminating with a fall-semester, post-travel evaluation course and presentation of their research at Stetson.
