University of Wyoming

 

The Primary Mission of the Chicano Studies Program is:

To create a high quality teaching, research, and service program that makes available to students, the university community, the people of Wyoming, and the broader national audience substantive knowledge about the historical cultural, political, and socioeconomic development of Chicanas/os.

Chicanas/os are primarily of Mexican origin and make up the largest Latino ethnic group in the United States and Wyoming.

Interdisciplinary courses are designed to comparatively examine the historical and contemporary maintenance of the Mexican and Latino diasporas since their pre-Columbian, indigenous origins.  

Chicano Studies is an indispensable academic discipline for all Research 1 or 11 institutions.
