    Chicano Studies offers a variety of courses from a number of disciplines. These courses are designed to provide knowledge about Chicanos, their origins, history, literature, culture, and language.

    Chicano Studies is designed to provide individuals with the opportunity to prepare for: (1) further study in the fields of the humanities, social science, law, and education; (2) careers in community programs and teaching at all levels; and (3) advanced study in Chicano Studies fields. All courses listed in this interdisciplinary program are open to students having the academic prerequisites. Students may start at the freshman or sophomore level. Most Chicano Studies core courses are cross-listed with participating departments. Credit may be counted toward:

    1. An interdisciplinary major in Chicano Studies (27 semester hours of core courses; see below)
    2. A minor (18 hours)
    Students desiring to pursue one of these programs should consult with the Chicano Studies Director to determine a course of study suitable to their interests and professional needs.
