Associate of Arts - Mexican and Latin American Studies

Mexican and Latin-American Studies courses at College of Alameda offer opportunities for students to deepen their understanding of the multicultural history and character of the American experience. Students study the history and current experiences of U.S. Latinx and Latin American people in the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. The aim is to locate the experiences of people of color in a larger global context in terms of identity, culture, sociology, history, and economic relations between nations, and to incorporate discussion of migration, globalization, democracy and the increasing “ethnicization” of U.S. Latinx and Latin American experiences in the United States of America.
