Does anyone know anything about UConn's masters program in Latin American Studies? It never seems to come up in discussions of the top programs, but simply judging by the information on the website it appears to be comparable to those mentioned in the above discussion-at least in terms of the curriculum. Since there are no rankings for LAS graduate programs it is hard to distinguish between elite programs and second tier programs. If anyone knows anything about LAS at UConn, I would love to hear more about it.

Hi everyone, I am graduating this May and after taking a year off to work I would like to pursue an MA in Latin American Studies beginning in the Fall of 2013. As of right now the programs on my radar are the following... 1. Columbia 2. NYU 3. Georgetown 4. Vanderbilt 5. Tulane 6. Chicago I know I have plenty of time before application deadlines and so forth but I just wanted to see if any of you have any experience with any of the programs that I listed and if you could share any advice you might have with me. I am particularly interested in economic development. Does anyone know how difficult it is to receive funding including stipends or fellowships from these programs? Which programs are considered to be the best/most prestigious? I'm still very early on in the application process so any info you have would be great. Thanks a lot
