For Students

The number one priority of the Center for Latin American Studies is its students. CLAS seeks to expand and enrich resources on the Latin American and Caribbean region at the University of Pittsburgh in order to offer its students the highest quality multidisciplinary academic training programs that complement a degree in a discipline or profession.

Undergraduate Students

Any undergraduate student at the University of Pittsburgh may enroll in the Certificate or Related Concentration of the Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS). The earlier you enter the program, the easier it is to incorporate Latin American courses into your plan of study. As a CLAS student, you will become eligible for grants and fellowships awarded by the Center. Additionally, you will receive information on a wealth of resources, opportunities, and events at Pitt and in the community.
