Eleven of our students are double majors in Economics, International Studies, Music, Sociology and Spanish. Our five minors have declared majors in Biology, Economics, International Studies, Psychology, and Spanish. Fifteen of our students have studied abroad, several for more than a semester and in more than one country, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba and Ecuador. Among the seven students that will graduate in Spring 2005, one will receive her degree with Honors.

".....the LACS major has led me to a journey of retracing my family roots through a summer study in Cuba at the University of Havana, my grandmother's alma mater."

"As midnight struck and Sao Paulo turned 450 years old, everyone heard the unmistakable soft guitar introduction to Sampa, and the crowd erupted in cheers. In my entire year abroad, that night was one of the more memorable moments I experienced."
