Why Minor?

An Asian American Studies minor will enhance the critical thinking skills and career opportunities of students. Coursework in the field prepares students for careers in education, and government and community advocacy, for entrance to professional schools and areas such as law, social work, and urban planning; and for graduate study and research in the social sciences and humanities. Students majoring in nursing or the health sciences, psychology, economics, political science, sociology, history, business, literature, art, and many other areas will find Asian American Studies useful, particularly when their interests include activities within Asian or Asian American communities or issues that affect Asians and Asian Americans.

Students should have taken or be currently taking/registered for at least 2 ASIAN courses (or 6 credits) before they declare an Asian American Studies Minor.
