The Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies offers a minor that is a unique interdisciplinary program of study that supplements any undergraduate major by providing a well-rounded introduction to the Chicanx-Latinx community, including its historical, cultural, social, political, and economic context. Coursework supports major programs in economics, business, politics, culture, education, personnel management, marketing, psychology/counseling, community development, public administration, and fine arts.
