Current Graduate Students

The Center for Mexican American Studies has participated in the training of graduate students since the early 1970s. Beginning in 2002, graduate students have participated in the Doctoral Portfolio Program in Mexican American Studies, which was recently renamed the Graduate Portfolio Program in Mexican American Studies and expanded to include master’s students.

In the fall of 2006, CMAS welcomed the first cohort of students to the Master of Arts degree program in Mexican American Studies.
