Additional Information

The Standing Committee on Latin American and Iberian Studies is appointed to coordinate the Center’s research and curricular programs that operate solely within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, including Harvard College and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.  Although the Committee itself does not offer an undergraduate concentration or an advanced degree, it awards a Certificate in Latin American Studies to Harvard College students who have completed an approved course of study as part of their work toward the A.B. degree in many concentrations.  The Committee also awards a Certificate in Latin American Studies to graduate students who meet its requirements just prior to their receipt of the doctoral degree.
