On Campus

Both the undergraduate and graduate degrees are multidisciplinary programs providing a wide range of courses and a large number of potential career opportunities, including education, business, foreign service, law enforcement, and public health, among others. Many MA recipients go on to Ph.D. programs and careers in higher education and research.

In addition to its core academic programs, the Center for Latin American Studies partners with leading U.S. universities to offer less-commonly-taught languages of Latin America, including Nahautl, Mayan, Mixtec, and others.

SDSU’s Center is the only university in the U.S. offering Mixtec language instruction.
