Students completing this associate degree will have completed lower-division major preparation requirements for a Chicano/a studies degree, an emphasis or option within a social justice/Chicano/a studies degree, or a degree considered similar to Chicano/a studies at a participating California State University (CSU) campus. Following transfer to a participating CSU campus, students will be required to complete no more than 60 units to obtain a bachelor's degree, however, some CSU campuses accepting this degree may require additional lower-division major preparation. This degree may not be appropriate preparation for students transferring to a CSU campus not accepting this degree or to a university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a MiraCosta counselor for further information regarding the most efficient pathway to transfer as a Chicano Studies studies major and to determine which CSU campuses are participating in this program. Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to- assess the impact of historical and cultural Chicano/x and Latinx experiences in the United States and examine how those influences shape the contemporary Chicano/x and Latinx experience.
