Admission to the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Chicano/Latino Studies is based on an evaluation of the student's academic record. To be considered for admission to the program with regular status, applicants must have a master's degree in an appropriate field or its equivalent, of at least 30 credits of approved course work beyond the bachelor's degree. Applicants without a master's degree or sufficient course work may be admitted provisionally and be required to complete a specified number of collateral courses, not to count toward the degree, before regular admission is granted.
