The Latin American Studies program at Stetson develops experientially based understanding of our neighbors' diverse cultures.

The program’s experiential component includes several off-campus programs in Latin America such as internships, field courses and summer sessions
abroad. Program students have studied and completed internships in Guatemala, Peru, Mexico, Belize, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Ecuador, and Puerto Rico.
