Minor in Mexican and Mexican American Studies
This minor is designed to introduce students to a variety of topics and issues in the history, politics, arts, and migration of Mexicans and to give them the opportunity to study Mexico and its Diaspora in the United States. The program is offered as a minor field that complements a wide array of majors. It is particularly valuable for students who wish to combine an interest in Mexico with majors such as History, Education, Sociology, Anthropology, or Political Science.
