The courses needed to complete the Asian American Studies Major for students adding the major starting in Fall Quarter 2023 will change to be more useful to our students and better reflect Asian American Studies as a field. Over the past few years, the department faculty reviewed and discussed existing curriculum data and also held qualitative interviews with students to develop the new, updated major course requirements listed on this page. We are confident that these curriculum changes better match student interests and provide more opportunity and flexibility in course choices.

Asian American Studies Major Requirements

The Asian American Studies major is a designated capstone major. Students are required to complete either a community-based applied team research project or an independent scholarly or creative expression project. Those who select the community-based project are expected to use their scholarly knowledge and analytical skills to examine problems facing Asian and Pacific Islander American populations, think creatively and innovatively about evidence-based solutions, and to produce reports that benefit community stakeholders. Those who select to design and complete an independent scholarly or creative expression project pursue a key idea or theme of personal interest that is related to their prior coursework and to the experiences and realities of Asian and Pacific Islander Americans. Through their capstone work, all students are expected to demonstrate their skills in using and synthesizing knowledge gained in disparate courses and communicating effectively their findings and conclusions in a final paper, report, or project and in a public forum.

The BA program in Asian American Studies provides a general introduction for students who anticipate advanced work at the graduate level or careers in research, public service, and community work related to Asian and Pacific Islander Americans. An overall grade-point average of 2.0 or better is required for admission to the major.
