Overview

Students can pursue a primary course of study (a Planned Program) or take courses toward a minor to create a valuable supplement to any major whether in the humanities, sciences, or social sciences.

A major in Latinx Studies of University of Oklahoma will enable students to be better decision-makers, creators, and innovators in a world where business, law, politics, and the arts all are being transformed as new Latinx communities emerge in the U.S. The University of Minnesota documents graduates from its Chicano and Latino Studies program getting jobs in Student Life offices in higher education, in the area of Advocacy and Health Policy Coordinators, as patient advocates in children's hospitals and clinics, as attorneys, as political constituent relations coordinators, as directors of development, as independent entrepreneurs, as commercial managing directors, as professors and teachers, as realtors, as systems programs analysts, and as writers.

Latinx Studies courses will emphasize the development of critical reading, historical perspectives, and writing skills, helping students learn how to ask and answer questions that they find meaningful and how to communicate their ideas and experiences to others. Such skills are valuable in all walks of life. Finally, this program will seek to inspire students to understand that critical inquiry is not just a luxury for academics, but something that can and should be a part of everyday life, adding richness and depth to our experiences. A degree in Latinx Studies, especially when accompanied by acquaintance or expertise in ancillary fields, will be useful to careers in several professional areas. Students intending to pursue careers in law and politics will find that a familiarity with the history of Latinos in the U.S. will provide a unique and sophisticated understanding of public policy issues. Because the program encourages interdisciplinary thinking, students interested in business and commercial applications will be equipped to respond to the global impact of Latinx culture in the marketplace.

Careers

Graduates of the program will be well-versed as historians, humanists, and social scientists, they may likely teach a variety of courses in addition to specialized topics in Latinx Studies. A degree in Latinx Studies may be a springboard to a career in policy creation in the public and private sector. Governmental and non-governmental agencies increasingly devote resources to strategic planning and oversight of critical programs serving Latino communities. Because Latinx Studies students are trained to analyze culture and structure arguments in integrative ways, they will be among the most desirable employees in the humanities and social sciences.
