Research
Undergraduate Research in the Arts and Humanities Grant research with MAS faculty

Global Latinx Studies | Senior Portfolios
Seniors in the Global Latinx Studies program develop portfolios that tie together the interdisciplinary links between at least three different courses. This project represents the culmination of personal and professional growth in the understanding of Latinx communities in the Americas and beyond.
Study Abroad
Today, cross-cultural understanding is as much a practical necessity as an educational standard. Studying abroad is an embodiment of the liberal arts ideals and a sign of the initiative and breadth often looked for by employers.
Students have access to need-based study abroad scholarships through the Trinity’s Center for International Engagement and the Carlos and Malu Alvarez Study Abroad grant provided by the Mexico, the Americas and Spain program.

The program fosters close ties between the University and the Latinx community in San Antonio and beyond through internships, service-learning, and other experiential opportunities.

MAS Leadership Program
Designed for Latinx students and any student interested in the Latinx community, this program develops nontraditional leadership skills outside of resumes and public speaking, such as community building, cultural understanding, and networking.
