Our fundamental purpose rests in the
study of social, cultural, and linguistic resources in diverse
contexts at the local, regional, national, and international
levels. The Division of Bicultural-Bilingual Studies is an interdisciplinary
faculty with a shared commitment to responding to the needs of
Latinos and other populations who do not have equity of access
to higher education. Since the founding of UTSA, the Division
of Bicultural-Bilingual Studies has provided leadership and expertise
in addressing issues related to language, culture, policy and
educational practices. We promote our purpose through strong
faculty and student research as well as preparation of educators
and other professionals to work with bilingual populations in
human and social services. In order to fulfill our mission, we
collaborate with researchers, educators, policy makers, and community
organizations to promote social through our expertise in Bilingual
and Second Language Education, and Mexican American and Bicultural
Studies.
