Statement of Academic Purpose

The Chicana and Chicano Studies department is interdisciplinary with a foundation in Chicano and Latino studies. The department mission promotes critical understanding of Chicano Hispano Mexicano communities through teaching, research, and community partnerships. The department accomplishes that mission by offering face-to-face and online environments in an undergraduate program with a major, a minor, and two certificate programs as well as a graduate certificate program. The curricula and community engagement efforts focus on (1) Chicana and Chicano cultural studies, (2) politics and social justice, and (3) the transnational US-Mexico experience. The curricula areas allow course offerings concerned with gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity, arts and culture, political and social mobilization, immigration and citizenship, history and heritage, land grant studies, Chicana feminism and Queer theory. The three areas are addressed through a curricula taught in both English and Spanish and maintain a regional and transnational focus in New Mexico, the U.S. Southwest, and Mexico.

Students may take any of the Chicana and Chicano Studies courses as electives, or they may enroll in the Chicana and Chicano Studies minor or certificate programs through the College of Arts and Sciences Advisement Center. Additionally, students in the Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts or in the Bachelor of Arts in American Studies may design a special focus in Chicana and Chicano Studies for their majors.
