Mission Statement

The Department of Transborder Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies is a center of research, learning, training and application that seeks to enhance the intellectual, educational and professional opportunities of Mexican-origin and other Latino populations.

The Department of Transborder Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies focuses on three major areas: transnational media, literature and arts, U.S. and Mexican regional immigration policy and economy, and transborder community development and health. Future concentrations will include transfrontier language, education, culture and transnational indigenous Mexico.

The undergraduate program is designed to promote a strong and rigorous intellectual and technical preparation for careers in transnational communications, the transborder public and private sector, transnational public policy, transnational arts and letters, and indigenous education.
