Interested in Switching to Latin American Studies?
Students wishing to switch into our major must declare the Major here. *The minimum prep GPA of 2.00 will need to be met. Latin American Studies majors are required by graduation to achieve intermediate level of any TWO modern foreign languages related to the area (e.g., Portuguese 3 or 11B; Spanish 5 or 7; an indigenous language of Latin America, e.g., Quechua, Nahuatl, Zapotec, through that level).
Interested in Double Majoring with Latin American Studies?
With careful planning, students can elect to double major with Latin American Studies and a different major. Please contact our Advising Office to set up an individual appointment to review your academic plan.
Incoming UCLA Students
Incoming freshmen and transfer students may enter UCLA as a Latin American Studies major.
Incoming Transfer Students:
Transfer students interested in the Latin American Studies major should complete as many preparation courses prior to coming to UCLA as possible, leaving only I A STD 1 to be taken at UCLA (typically during their first Fall Quarter unless taken during a prior summer term at UCLA). Please review Assist.org and UCLA's Admissions page as needed.
Please contact the I A STD Academic Counseling Office if you have any further questions.
