Chicano and Latino Studies majors take courses offered in two broadly defined fields of study: humanities and social sciences. Humanities content includes courses designed to increase awareness of Chicana, Chicano, and Chicanx cultures, as well as intellectual, aesthetic, literary, historical, ethical, and human values.
