Five-Year BA/MA Degree Program Option.

Studies who choose to minor in Latin American Studies have the opportunity to pursue a joint BA/MA program in conjunction with the Center for Latin American Studies at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. This program allows outstanding students interested in Latin America to begin work toward an interdisciplinary master´s degree in Latin American Studies while still undergraduates at Wake Forest, and to complete both degrees within a five-year period. The bachelor of arts degree is awarded by Wake Forest, while the master´s degree is awarded by Georgetown. See pages 71 and 169 of the bulletin for complete details. Interested students should contact the five-year degree program coordinator, Peter Siavelis, associate professor of political science.
