The Master of Arts (M.A.) in Latin American Studies and Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) Dual Degree Program is intended to prepare graduates to improve the health of Latin American populations and Latino populations in the United States, with a primary focus on New Mexico, the Southwest, the United States/Mexico border region, and regions south of the border. It supplements the M.P.H. program with in-depth study of languages, cultures, and societies that help prepare graduates to work effectively either in Latin America, or with Latin American immigrant populations within the United States.

The M.A. in Latin American Studies and M.P.H. Dual Degree Program requires 63 credit hours. A minimum of 21 credit hours are required in Latin American Studies courses, and a minimum of 42 credit hours are required in Public Health courses. At least 13 credit hours of the M.P.H. component must have significant content related to Latin America or Latin American immigrant communities in the United States, to enable the student to integrate the content and practice of the two degrees.

Applicants for the Dual Degree Program must apply separately to and meet the entrance requirements of each program. Preference is given to students who have public health experience, which may be community development, research, health education, health science, health promotion, or other health-related work. Experience can be paid or voluntary.

Coursework for the M.A. in Latin American Studies component of the Dual Degree Program includes a minimum of 9 graduate credit hours in each of two concentrations.

The M.P.H. component of the Dual Degree Program requires a minimum of 42 credit hours as follows:

• PH 501, 502, 506, 508, 511, 513, 538, 552;
• PH 507, 533 or 555;
