Objectives
The interdisciplinary Chicana/o Studies curriculum is designed to enhance student understanding of the unique influence of the Chicano/Latino community in the United States. It is the belief of the Department that a liberal arts education should expose students to as many cultures and perspectives as possible. This exposure emphasizes the following aspects of the goals of the University: the encouragement of learning, the education of the whole person, the service of faith, and the promotion of justice. The goals of Chicana/o Studies have a special meaning given the significant historical and contemporary presence of Mexican and Chicana/o peoples in Los Angeles. The Department fosters a socially and intellectually engaged environment that prepares students as leaders in a society which is increasingly diverse, and which requires expertise about racial, ethnic, gender, sexuality, class, political, and social differences.
Chicana/o Studies Student Learning Outcomes
At the end of a course of study, in the major or minor in Chicana/o Studies, students will be able to:
- Interpret, define, and evaluate historical and contemporary information about and representations of Chicana/os;
- Use and apply humanistic, scientific, and/or social science methods, in overlapping methods as appropriate, to arrive at their understandings of Chicana/os and Latina/os;
- Engage recent theories, methodologies, ideas, and developments central to the discipline of Chicana/o Studies, including interdisciplinary methods and multidisciplinary approaches;
- Value engaged learning, life-long education, and leadership for social justice.
