Minor in Chicano/Latino Studies

 

The minor in Chicano/Latino Studies provides UC Irvine students with the opportunity to explore the histories, cultures, and ethnic diversity of the Chicano/Latino diaspora. The minor is an interdisciplinary complement to any major, ideal for students seeking to deepen their understanding of Chicano/Latino issues.

 

In addition to satisfying the requirements for the minor, students are encouraged to take advantage of the variety of unique educational opportunities available at UCI. Opportunities like the Education Abroad Program (EAP), the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP), and the Summer Program in Research & Leadership (SPIRL) allow students to gain real-world experience that complements their participation in the Chicano/Latino studies department.
