The curriculum combines core seminars on region-specific scholarship and research with the opportunity to take courses in different disciplines throughout Columbia University. During the first semester students obtain solid foundations in the most relevant scholarship on key issues of contemporary Latin America (democratization, rule of law, urban development, environmental change, trade and immigration, gender relations, and cultural expression of diversity, among others). In the second semester they hone research methodologies and the critical use of scholarship in order to develop their own projects and complete an M.A. thesis. MARSLAC students deepen their knowledge of the political, economic, social and cultural processes shaping the region, and graduate with the expertise to be leaders in their chosen fields. Ideal for both professionals seeking regional knowledge and students intending to pursue the Ph.D., the program prepares graduates for careers in government, public policy, non-profit organizations, journalism, the private sector, and academia. MARSLAC invites applications from students who have, or will have received by the time of enrollment, a baccalaureate granted by a college or university of recognized standing. Applicants should have a general background in social sciences and humanities and be interested in deepening their knowledge of Latin America and the Caribbean and in broadening their analytical and research skills.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees BA  Pre-Requisite Courses None.
