Welcome to clals

Welcome to Georgia State University's Center for Latin American and Latino/a Studies, an interdisciplinary teaching, research, and community service program for the Latin American and Latino communities in Georgia. Our certificate program provides critical education and training for both academic and professional careers.

CLALS offers students extensive knowledge of Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as their corresponding communities within the United States, through a combination of academic study, personalized training, and research abroad. Additionally, it provides a forum for dialogue among faculty, students, and the general population of the Atlanta metro region. Our program embraces a variety of fields and it is committed to historically informed and interdisciplinary approaches that promote a more thorough understanding of differences within Latin America and beyond its borders in a global context.

Please contact us if you would like more information. We will enjoy introducing you to our staff, arranging a tour around campus, and discussing with you how Latin American Studies at Georgia State University can be part of your future.
