South America is the continent renowned for one of the oldest civilisations in the America: the Norte Chico civilisation in Peru. With a rich cultural past spanning thousands of years, courses in the History of South America provide an interesting opportunity for scholarly investigation.
Of course, your studies may not necessarily involve simply tracing the origins of South America. You may wish to focus on the Spanish and Portuguese colonisation of the continent in the 15th century, and its impact on the demographic of the population of the time.
Or, you might examine how the continent’s independence from the Spanish crown in the 19th century led to a wave of immigration from Europe to the area, continuing through to the 20th century.
Careers may include roles in academia such as teaching or publishing. You could also consider roles in the media, heritage, public relations or even a congressional aid.
