Chicano Studies at California State University Los Angeles is a dynamic, innovative, interdisciplinary program designed for students seeking a rigorous education that consciously includes a global and comparative perspective. It is dedicated to the continued development of a cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural curriculum within the College of Natural and Social Sciences. Our curriculum seeks to breach traditional barriers between the social sciences and the humanities to achieve an integrated educational experience. This is our goal in both undergraduate and graduate courses.
More specifically, Chicano Studies at CSLA is an interdisciplinary program tat focuses on the historical experiences and contemporary social status of the various Mexican/Chicana/o populations in the United States. It includes a global component in recognition of the international forces that long have influenced the lives and opportunities of the Mexican-origin populations in America. The academic program compares the political, social, and cultural experiences of these populations to other Latino groups. It also focuses on the issues of social justice affecting Latinos and other racial, ethnic, and cultural groups in the U.S.
The Master of Arts in Mexican American Studies is designed to prepare students for advanced study, teaching in community colleges or secondary or elementary schools, or employment as professionals in private agencies and/or government services.
