Asian Pacific American Studies, Minor
The Asian Pacific American Studies minor is focused on the experience of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States.
Although covering a diverse set of experiences, ethnicities, languages, and cultures, there have also been strategic reasons for adopting pan-Asian American and pan Asian American and Pacific Islander American identities along with engagement and allyship with other communities of color. Our minor explores these topics and prepares you to work and promote change in an increasingly diverse society. Our program emphasizes critical thinking and writing, civic engagement and activism, community outreach, and leadership and development.
