Welcome to the Center for Mexican American Studies

The Center for Mexican American Studies (CMAS) is a unit within the College of Liberal Arts at The University of Texas at Austin. The mission of CMAS is to serve Texas and the nation as a leader in teaching, research, and publications. 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 outreach partnerships.
