Latin American and Latino Studies

Boston Area Consortium on Latin America

The Boston Area Consortium on Latin America is headquartered at the Latin American and Latino Studies Program at Brandeis University.

BACLA is a consortium of the Latin American Studies programs of nine colleges and universities in the Boston area. It serves as a vehicle for faculty, graduate students and undergraduates with Latin American interests to communicate with each other, and for each institution to supplement its Latin American resources with those available at the others. BACLA sponsors occasional lectures and conferences and shares information on Boston-area events on Latin America.

The students at four institutions (Boston College, Boston University, Brandeis University and Tufts University) can take courses at the other institutions; Brandeis University and Wellesley College also have a cross-registration program, and MIT has cross-registration with both Wellesley College and Harvard University. All institutions except Harvard University share their library holdings through the Boston Area Library Consortium.
