The minor draws from curricula in departments throughout the university. Students complete 20 hours of coursework: one required course, and four electives. Two of the electives must be from the list of “full coverage” courses on Chicana-Latina topics. The remaining two courses may offer partial coverage of Chicana/Latina themes

Program Learning Outcomes

The Minor introduces students to major theories and perspectives on the cultural, socio-economic, and political issues affecting Chicana and Latina populations in the United States. Through the program, students come to understand how structures of race, class, gender, sexuality and ideology condition inequality and social conflict.
The Minor is based on the perspectives and historical experiences of Chicanas and Latinas as a framework for critical analysis and production of knowledge.
The Minor aims to train students for professional and graduate work in areas such as social work, education, business, health sciences, the arts and humanities, law, and management.
