The Latin American, Caribbean & Iberian Studies Program (LACIS) is an interdisciplinary program, offering over 250 courses in 45 different departments including two less commonly taught languages - Yucatec Maya and Ecuadorian Quichua. We operate in consortium with the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at UW-Milwaukee and collaboratively and independently provide opportunities for outreach to the community. The LACIS region consists of: Latin America, the Caribbean and the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). We "share" the Iberian Peninsula with the Center for European Studies.
