Bachelor of Arts in Chicana/o Studies

LMU's Chicana/o Studies major helps students understand the unique influence of Mexican-origin peoples and other Latinos living in the United States. The major examines the lives, histories, and cultures of Mexican-origin people and those from elsewhere in Latin America who live in the United States. The department's academic strengths lie in history, cultural anthropology, political science, and literature, as well as in feminist, visual, and media studies.

Chicana/o Studies developed at LMU more than 40 years ago in the context of the Civil Rights movements of the late 1960s. In the decades since, Chicana/o Studies has become a widely accepted field of study. The discipline has a special meaning in Los Angeles given the significant historical and contemporary presence of Chicanos and Latinos here.

Chicana/o Studies majors learn about the historical and political journeys that have led Chicano and Latino communities to have an indelible influence on life in the United States.

Majors use and apply humanistic, scientific, and social science methods to arrive at understandings about people from Latin America. They compare and contrast recent theories, methodologies, ideas, and developments central to the discipline.

Courses prepare students to live in and contribute to a society that is increasingly diverse. Majors take a sampling of courses from several areas: political science, history, cultural anthropology, visual media, and Chicana/o literature. Majors also do field work in Los Angeles, conducting hands-on research with government and social service agencies and religious organizations.
