Ethnic studies is an interdisciplinary academic discipline focused on dignity and autonomy. It centers on racialized communities—including laborers, learners, academics, activists, and others—rejecting Eurocentric frameworks that portray them as subordinate. Mexican American and Latina/o Studies naturally spans multiple disciplines, integrating diverse scholarly approaches to examine issues affecting Latina/o populations nationwide. This interdisciplinary nature ensures you'll gain broad intellectual exposure across subjects, developing into what we collectively call...a VERSATILE THINKER. While "well-rounded" is frequently mentioned in liberal arts contexts, we assure you it's substantive. Employers often seek to shape early-career professionals, aligning their abilities with organizational goals. As a MALS student, you inherently present greater adaptability than candidates with overly specialized or technical undergraduate backgrounds.

You will need to include 9th grade even if that work was completed at a different institution. You should also include copies of your official final examinations taken at the end of the secondary school program, including external exams such as the General Certificate of Education (GCE) O and A level examinations, school leaving certificates and matriculation exams. If you have earned any college credit (including dual credit) while in high school, submit official transcripts to UT Austin. Please provide official English translations together with the original language records.
