墨西哥裔/墨西哥裔研究专业，学士学位.A.

Born out of the Chicano Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and ’70s, 密歇根州立大学丹佛’s bachelor degree program in Chicana/o Studies is a rich, interdisciplinary major that is as much about community involvement as it is about individual learning.

密歇根州立大学丹佛’s Chicana/o Studies Department is the only full-fledged Chicana/o Studies program in Colorado. While emphasizing research and the development of strong critical thinking and creative skills, your Chicana/o Studies major will take you on an immersive journey through the language, 历史, culture and social justice roots of this dynamic and emerging discipline.

It will also take you into the world. Whether through events like the 理查德T. Castro Distinguished 访问ing 教授hip with activist Chicana/o scholars and Lalo Delgado Poetry Festival or service learning experiences and community-based internships, you will develop a deep sense of the challenges and opportunities confronting the Chicana/o community today.

Choose the Social Practice concentration if you’re considering a career working with the Chicana/o community in civic engagement and nonprofit organizations. Select the Cultural Studies concentration if you want a career related to art, 电影, 音乐, 文学, 流行文化或宗教. Or opt for a Chicana/o program with teacher licensure, if teaching is in your future.

Whether you want to pursue a graduate degree or begin a career, your Chicana/o major will provide both the intellectual and professional foundation to do so.
