Welcome to Chicano Studies at The University of Texas at El Paso! Our instructional and research program is dedicated to the study of the Mexican-origin population in the United States, their history, culture, and salient contemporary social issues. Our interdisciplinary curriculum embraces local, national, and global frameworks to address race, class, gender, and sexuality paradigms that shaped, and continue to shape, the field of study as well as the experiences of Chicana/os and all Latina/os in the United States.  For further information, please visit our Director's Welcome.
