Latin American Studies, located in The State University of New York at New Paltz, now has a presence on the World Wide Web.

The Latin American Studies Program is an interdisciplinary program of academic work designed to give students a broad understanding of Latin America's people, cultures, politics, and history. The program has offered a minor in Latin American Studies since 1985, and students may now pursue a major in Latin American Studies as well.

The Latin American Studies Program is coordinated by the Latin American Studies Committee, composed of faculty members in several disciplines who teach courses about Latin America and provide academic advising to students who are majoring or minoring in the program. The Committee seeks to maintain high academic standards in the program by reviewing the progress of students and approving appropriate courses for credit towards students' programs.
