CCS at SJSU has the oldest Graduate Program in Chicana/o Studies in the United States, one of five Graduate Programs in Chicana/o Studies in California, and the only one north of Santa Barbara, California. CCS offers three degree programs: A master’s degree with areas of specialization in Policy, Education, and Comparative Ethnic Studies; an undergraduate major with areas of specialization in Cultural and Creative Expression, Institutions and Community Engagement, and Transnationalism and Global Relations; and a popular undergraduate minor that draws students from across the university. Alumni have careers in teaching, social services, public policy, health care, government, and nongovernment organizations in community service. Additionally, many alumni pursue advanced degrees in Education, History, Social Work, and Humanities fields. SJSU is committed to growing Ethnic Studies across the university. In 2018, the Ethnic Studies Collaborative (ESC) launched, bringing together faculty, staff, and students to promote research and leadership contributions of SJSU's Ethnic Studies programs and departments. The ESC includes the Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies, Department of African American Studies, and the Programs of Asian American Studies and Native American and Indigenous Studies. The ESC serves as a nexus for Ethnic Studies faculty, student, and community collaboration at SJSU. The ESC supports Ethnic Studies curriculum and co-curricular projects that address issues of settler colonialism, racial capitalism, immigration, and structural racism that impact the lived experiences of several populations in the United States and Americas, more broadly. With a focus on the comparative histories and experiential knowledge of marginalized racial and ethnic groups in the United States, the ESC plays a key role in the implementation of AB 1460, the CSU graduation requirement in Ethnic Studies. The Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies is part of the College of Social Sciences, which is committed to equitable and inclusive teaching and learning. The College sees faculty and student success as inextricably linked, and strives to provide culturally-sustaining, and academically-affirming approaches to supporting and engaging students and faculty. CoSS provides opportunities for faculty development around asset-based, holistic student success, and support scholarship of engagement that addresses issues that affect our campus and community. In all endeavors, CoSS strives to build leadership capacity and foster a culture of support and belonging for faculty, staff, and students. The Chicana and Chicano Studies Department and San José State University value diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Our excellence in research, teaching, and service can only be fully realized by faculty, students, and staff who share our commitment to these values. SJSU enrolls more than 36,000 students, many of whom are historically underserved. Around 45% of the student population is first generation and 38% are Pell-recipients. SJSU is a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institution (AANAPISI). SJSU’s commitment to equity and diversity extends from its vibrant, inclusive campus to an international network of over 275,000 alumni.
