The mission of the Latina/Latino Studies Department is to prepare our students for a successful and fulfilling career and personal life after completing our degree programs. At the forefront of that, we prepare our students with a comprehensive knowledge base and critical thinking skills that enable scholarly inquiry and analysis committed to justice and liberation. Once students graduate from our program, they are prepared to succeed in various career pathways. Not only do they utilize the experience and knowledge accumulated in their studies with us to succeed in their chosen careers, but they also lead and trailblaze.
And so, we strive to provide our students with a transformative education that addresses the historical and contemporary experiences of Latinas/os/x by critically engaging political economy, public health, education, history, communication, literature and sociology, among other fields. We achieve our mission through a curriculum that is both multifaceted and committed to community service and empowerment and social justice.
Thank you for your support! #gatorgivingday
