The Chicano Hispano Mexicano Studies Program offers a wide range of courses focusing on the history, language and traditions of Mexican Americans and Hispanos in New Mexico, the Southwest and other areas of the United States. Chicano Hispano Mexicano studies courses are offered in many departments and include the study of the humanities, social sciences, fine arts, law and education. Students from any college and any major in the University are encouraged to take a variety of Chicano Hispano Mexicano Studies courses in order to be better prepared–both professionally and personally–to understand the experience and the culture of an important and growing community of people in the United States.

Students may take any of the Chicano Hispano Mexicano Studies courses as electives, or they may enroll in the Chicano Hispano Mexicano Studies Minor through the advisement centers of University College or the College of Arts and Sciences. Additionally, students in the Bachelor of University Studies or American Studies may design a special focus in Chicano Hispano Mexicano Studies for their Major.
