"There are lots of programs that connect to undergrads," he says. "For example, we have an active certificate program in Latin American Studies. We probably have about 50-60 [students] this year. There is also a non-credit monthly seminar and an active program for research grants for theses."
In addition to the various programs DRCLAS organizes, it also compiles a yearly list of courses relating to Latin American and Iberian studies offered throughout the University.
The role of these centers may not always be clear to students at the College, and in fact, there has been criticism that they do not actively involve undergraduates as much as they should.
"As any international center director will tell you, I am vigilant and insistent that these scholarly affiliations actually enrich the educational opportunities for undergraduates in the College and graduate students in GSAS," Dean of Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles writes in an e-mail.
Steve Reifenberg, executive director of the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS)--which opened in 1994--says that there are many programs that specifically target students.
