Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) offers a unique Bachelor of Arts degree in
Comparative Mexican American Studies (CMAS) that integrates the arts, humanities
and social sciences to give students a comprehensive understanding of the historical
development, contemporary experiences and cultural expressions of Mexican Americans
from within comparative and transnational perspectives. The program

features
concentrations in Cultural Studies and Social Transformation and prioritizes OLLU’s
commitment to social justice through collaborative research, community engagement,
and service learning in San Antonio’s West Side. The CMAS degree is interdisciplinary, which means the courses include a variety of
academic disciplines. This allows students to create a degree plan that meets their
individual career goals, talents and interests. The concentration in cultural studies
emphasizes the arts and humanities, while the social transformation concentration is
geared toward the social sciences. Both degree plans require a minimum of 36
credit hours, of which at least 18 will be advanced. The CMAS major does not require
a minor, but incorporates skill-based collateral requirements that are focused on
professional development or preparation for graduate study. Alternatively, students can
pursue a Biliterate Certificate through the Spanish department or select a minor in a
related discipline.
