MA Programs in South American Studies

Earning a Master of Arts provides just what the name implies: mastery of a subject in the arts or humanities. Focused on a narrower field of study than a bachelor’s degree, the master’s degree can prepare a student for the competitive working world.

What is an MA in South American Studies? Students in this area of study can learn about politics, language, and culture in South American nations. Both English and Spanish may be studied in pursuit of this degree. These studies can branch into areas such as human rights and politics, identifying and analyzing changes within this specific region. Within the basis of this rich culture, students look at how government and the economy fold into one another and how they may take shape in the future. Studies may also include literature and the arts and how these play a part in shaping the culture.

Learning Spanish and English can open a world of possibilities to graduates of this course; many employers prefer workers who have mastery of more than one language. Studies of economics advance business possibilities for students, and the ability to analyze social change is of interest to many potential employers in government.

Completing the coursework for a master’s degree typically takes one to three years. The cost of this program depends on location and the student’s chosen course of study. Students can research individual program costs by contacting schools directly.
