The only degree of its kind in the Pacific Northwest

The growing Latinx population in the U.S. — 62 million and counting — brings urgency and relevancy to the study of Latinx communities who are actively shaping the social, economic, political, and cultural fabric of our country.

No matter your career path, so many jobs will need and benefit from your deep and nuanced understanding of Chicanx/Latinx experiences, perspectives, and contributions. Our major will prepare you to become a teacher, social worker, lawyer, entrepreneur, and more because it will empower you to know more about the cultures and people with whom you will work and serve.
