In East LA you can probably pick up a piece of "Chicano Culture" in about twenty minutes and for about a thousand dollars.

Beauty and brains! Eva Longoria had a whirlwind week in Cannes and has now topped it off with a big accomplishment: graduating with a master's degree at California State University.
"Big day today!!!" the former Desperate Housewives star tweeted on Wednesday, May 22. "Very excited to graduate for my Master's degree in Chicano Studies! You're never too old or too busy to continue your education!"

Longoria's former costars and friends quickly congratulated her on the news.
Marcia Cross tweeted, "Huge congratulations on your graduation today!!!! From Canne to Cap and Gown. You are really something. Xoxo m." Bill Rancic wrote, "Congrats Eva!"
Jane Fonda, who attended Longoria's charity event at the Cannes Film Festival wrote of how inspired she is by the actress on a blogpost.
"She does these things with such ease and grace," Fonda wrote, noting that Longoria left Cannes early Wednesday morning to return to California for her graduation.

Longoria, 38, also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in kinesiology from Texas A&M University.
According to California State University's website, Chicano Studies is a "field that advances a critical understanding of the Chicana/o and Latina/o experience in the United States. Courses reflect a multidisciplinary approach to the understanding of Chicana/o and Latina/o histories, politics, culture, language and education."
While her exact class schedule isn't known -- Longoria seems to have been treated just like any other student in the program. In an interview at the beginning of May with E! News, Longoria said that she was hard at work on her thesis.
WOW! All the more reason to study American and Texas history instead of the culture of alien invaders.
Now we are getting somewhere!

Pffffffffft! I have a PhD in chicano studies... I was born and raised in El Paso! Orale!
I watched “Chico and the Man” once. Where’s my doctorate degree??
“Congratulations. Here is your mop. This has nothing to do your graduating with a Master’s Degree in ‘Chicano Studies’, and everything to do with your graduating with a Master’s Degree.”
Kinesiology is no joke. Good friend of mine majored in kinesiology and went on to get his PhD in biomechanics. He went on to develop a human performance lab at a university that is one of the preeminent facilities of its kinds for human motion and performance. They study and develop world class athletes there.
Chicano Studies? It’s a good thing she has acting to fall back on.
About the same value as Lyle Van de Groot's Degree in Theology...
is that a union mop or a non-union mop?
I don’t care what anyone says.....that’s a hellofa nice car.
I’d let her wash my floors.........

Yea — everyone needs a college degree (along with thousands of dollars of student loan debt!)
'Chicano Studies'?Don't give up your day job sweetheart.
She got her degree from Texas A&M-Kingsville. Big difference from Texas A&M.
How do you even do that without fatally overdosing on political correctness? Does she get a bolus of something each week to ward it off?
How could there be enough courses to meet the credit requirements for such a program?
I wonder if she knows Mexico only owned the Western United States for 25 years.
