Center for Latin American Studies

The Center's multi-disciplinary curriculum is made possible by a group of faculty drawn from departments across the University. In addition to teaching, CLAS' core faculty members serve on the Center’s Executive Committee and advise our students. CLAS draws on the DC policy and professional communities as well, bringing in expert adjunct professors to complement and enhance our course offerings.
