Asian American Studies
Courses in the Asian American Studies minor familiarize students with the historical, socioeconomic, and cultural adaptations that peoples from Asia make when coming to the United States. The curriculum is designed to enable professional men and women to understand and to interact with people from ethnic subcultures in our pluralistic society. The Asian American Studies Minor therefore complements any major dealing with human behavior. For more information, see Asian American Studies.
Minor and Certificate in Southeast Asian Studies
A minor and a certificate in Southeast Asian Studies are offered at this
university. The requirements for both the minor and the certificate are
listed under the Asian American Studies Program.
