Latin American, Latino and Caribbean Studies (LALACS) is one of the newest academic programs at Dartmouth. It was first established with the name Latin American and Caribbean Studies(LACS) in 1993, as an interdisciplinary area studies program centered on Latin America and the Caribbean. In 1997, the name was changed to LALACS in order to reflect the incorporation of another dimension: Latino Studies. At present LALACS is an interdisciplinary program composed of two separate tracks: Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS), and Latino Studies (LATS). The program officially became a permanent academic program on February 13, 2006.
