Asian American Studies
Minor in the College of Liberal Arts
If you’ve ever wondered about Asian Americans’ role in U.S History, representation in the media, or past and contemporary social, economic, political issues, studying in AAS allows you to explore all these questions and more!
Asian American studies is an interdisciplinary approach to the social, cultural, and political study of people living in America of Asian descent. Topics include, but are not limited to studies of immigration, diaspora, law and legislation, community formation and civil rights. Asian American studies focuses mainly on those that take place in the United States and Canada. We believe that Asian American studies not only offers insight into Asian American experiences, but into the experience of all communities who have experienced immigration and acculturation in America.
