Successful careers depend on more than your degree, however, and every LAS student is strongly encouraged to do two things: study abroad and a semester long (or more) internship.

Living and studying abroad, together with the work experience of an internship in your area of career interest, greatly enhances your degree and your career options. A Latin American Studies degree is a good start, but to get to the next level you need more than a college degree. Study abroad and internship experiences will help you realize your goals.

To find out about the requirements of your career choice, and to look for a useful internship in your preferred area (including international internships), students are encouraged to get to know SDSU’s Career Services.
