Latin American countries have developed increasingly strong ties within and beyond the region while consolidating democratic institutions and the rule of law. 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 both for 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. The program also assists K- 12 educators in the metropolitan area to develop curricula that address the specific needs of the increasing numbers of students from this region in New York City schools. Applicants come from a diversity of backgrounds: they may be, for example, health professionals collaborating with colleagues in Latin American countries; government and NGO professionals working in the region; or business people seeking to develop expertise in a region increasingly linked to the U.S. and global economies. The M.A. program is supported by the expertise of Columbia's faculty in the social sciences and humanities, in addition to Columbia's research infrastructure and access to other resources in New York City. It builds upon the unique synergy created between the programs of the Institute of Latin American Studies and various institutions in the New York City area and throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. The educational experiences of M.A. students are enriched by participating in the various lecture series, conferences, and other activities sponsored by the Institute.
