Graduates will be prepared for careers in the nonprofit sector as leaders and directors of community-based organizations, in public services, or to pursue various postgraduate degree programs including law, medicine, and business. Housed in the Political Science department, the program is dedicate to the study of the historical, social, and cultural expereience of Latina/o/x/ communities, with a strong interest in the socio-political dimensions of US Latina/o/x life. From early colonialism and pre-colonial times, to contemporary developments such as recent Mexican and Southern American immigration to New York City, it exposes students to methodologies specific to Chicano/Latino Studies, and debates that reflect larger transformations in United States culture and society.

CAREER OPPERTUNITIES The Latina/o/x population continues to grow across the United States-from current census estimates of 55 million to 119 million by 2060. The New York City area alone represents the largest Hispanic city in the United States with a population of 2.3 million Latinos according to the 2010 census. Employers in both the public and privat sectors seek candidates who have a keen understanding of these communities. Students in the Latina/o Studies program have the oppertunity to develop skills sets for a variety of professional and vocation realms, and are uniquely qualified to act as a bridge between the general population and the growing Latino/o/x population.

Latina/o Studies graduates (of other schools) have been hired into private sector jobs in companies that draw upon their familiarity with the Latina/o/x community in order to more effectively engage with the ever-growing ranks of Latina/o/x consumers. Students may combine the Latina/o Studies major with another major such as psychology, journalism, marketing, or public health thereby deepening their capabilities as professionals to serve our complex multicultural society.
