The MMFRP is a unique, year-long program for undergraduate and graduate students who want an in-depth, community-based research practicum focused on international migration. (more info at https://mmfrp.org). All students must commit to the full year, including winter fieldwork in Tijuana. All travel costs are covered for you.

1. Fall: Sociology 125: Sociology of Immigration (4 units)

3. Spring: Course number TBD: Research Reporting (4 units)

In Winter 2023, we hope to have SOME students conduct fieldwork in Tijuana, if Covid permits. To travel to Tijuana, students need one of the following by December 2022. **If you are DACA or undocumented you will not have to travel. Instead you will be assigned work in California. Please check if you have any of these (or expect to have by December 2021):

US passport valid through April 2021 (have or expect to have before December 2021)

US green card valid through April 2021

Passport from another country (not US) valid through April 2021 AND relevant visa to enter Mexico. Note: Mexico requires visas from students of many countries. Please check and confirm you have the correct visa to enter Mexico.

DACA or undocumented (Dr. Andrews can share details)

None of the above.
