Miami Dade College

InterAmerican Campus

By Mark Perez

      The InterAmerican Campus is located in the colorful and diverse neighborhood of Little Havana. The roots of this campus go back as far as 1972. InterAmerican Campus (IAC) started off with only two night courses at the Belen Jesuit Prep School. Sixty students enrolled. By the 1979, the program had blossomed into the Wolfson Campus’ Division of Bilingual Studies, enrolling 2,000 students. Rapid growth came in the early 1980s, with an influx of students from Latin America and the Caribbean, which led to the addition of day classes and full-time faculty. Today, IAC offers students over 200 degree and certificate programs, including an A.S. in translation and interpretation studies, certificate programs in early childhood education, and a B.A.S. in Supervision and Management. It is also home to the dual-language Honors College and Miami Dade College's School of Education, which offers bachelor's degree programs in early childhood education, secondary mathematics education, exceptional student education, and secondary science education in the areas of biology, chemistry, physics and earth/space science.

     We are proud to say IAC is the campus with a personal touch; our faculty and staff go the extra mile every day to help students succeed.  To learn more about IAC, please visit http://www.mdc.edu/iac.
