These include summer, semester and year-long programs in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and South America. Courses are taught in Spanish, Portuguese, Kaqchikel Maya, and English, with offerings in Area Studies, Tropical Ecology and Environment, Diaspora Studies, Business, Linguistics, Public Health, Social Systems, Historic Preservation, Cultural Studies, International Relations, Art, Anthropology, and more. The Stone Center of Latin American Studies and Tulane’s Center for Global Education provide information on these Tulane-affiliated programs as well as others and facilitate students’ access to such programs.
