If you are interested in border issues and communities, the Master of Advanced Study in transborder studies is designed for you. You learn from interdisciplinary scholars in both the social sciences and humanities to develop your individualized plan of study and focus area. You have the opportunity to engage in innovative research or applied experiences, or you may focus your plan of study on a more professional and applied track. The program has historically been grounded in and inspired by the geographical specificity of the U.S.-Mexico border. Given the massive scale of globalization in the 21st century and its influence on local, regional, national, subnational and international environments, the program examines transborder regions and populations around the world, including metaphorical, linguistic and cultural borders, as well as patterns and implications of immigration and migration.
