2007-2008 Catalog (PDF) - Colorado State University-Pueblo

College of Humanities and Social Sciences
• As a competency indicator of achievements in the
area of art history, part of the portfolio should
contain samples of a student’s written material as
related to art history, analysis and criticism.
• The intent of the portfolio is to faithfully reflect the
ability and competency level of the art student as
he or she progresses in the program. The makeup
of the portfolio will reflect the personal accomplishments
of each individual.
• A complete set of course outlines and examination
examples for each course will be maintained and
updated by faculty members and made available
to the student upon request. Class objectives and
skills attained during the class will be denoted
clearly in these materials.
CHICANO/A STUDIES PROGRAM
The Chicano/a studies minor complements majors and
careers in law, sociology, social work, languages,
education, government, business and other disciplines.
Courses offer unique undergraduate preparation for
those who seek entrance to graduate studies in law,
humanities or the social sciences.
Students who plan to live and work in the American
Southwest or aspire to careers that involve relations in
the American continents are likely to be well served by
Chicano/a Studies courses. The interdisciplinary
approach emphasizes history and cultural studies, and
selected courses provide the student with in-depth
knowledge of specific aspects of the Chicano/a
community.
Program Goals
• To provide individual courses as well as a minor to
fulfill the unique role and mission of Colorado
State University-Pueblo.
• To offer an individually designed minor in support
of students’ majors.
