Welcome

Since 1970, the mission of CMAS has been to serve Texas and the nation as a leader in the intellectual development of Mexican American Studies. The establishment of CMAS represents an institutional recognition of the importance of the Mexican American people in the history, culture, and society of the United States.

CMAS accomplishes its mission by offering an undergraduate degree program, a master’s degree program, and a graduate portfolio program for masters and doctoral students. CMAS hosts a number of public presentations by faculty, students, and invited guests. In addition, CMAS offers an extensive public programming calendar throughout the academic year and maintains a variety of community and research partnerships.
