What's New?
UH”s Latin American Studies Minor and Program (LAST) in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences is designed to encourage study and teaching relating to this very important geographic and cultural area. The minor will be of particular interest to students in areas such as business, humanities, social sciences, hotel and restaurant management, or any other areas where detailed knowledge of Latin America, its countries, and/or regions is useful.
- LAST 3300 is being offered by Professor Susan Kellogg as a distance education course during the Fall 2009 semester.
- Courses for the Latin American Studies Minor, Spring 2010 Semester*
*Note: While an effort is made to provide a complete listing of courses that count toward the minor, students should also check the on-line schedule for courses in specific departments and subject areas in which they are interested.

The LAST program does not currently run a study-abroad program, but we strongly encourage UH students to consider such an experience. The Office of International Studies and Programs sponsors the UH-Kukulcan Spanish Immersion Program. This is a very flexible and reasonably priced program .
