Following nearly three years of advocacy from students, officials have announced the courses that will comprise the recently-approved Asian American studies minor, which students can declare this fall.
Students hoping to earn the minor must obtain 18 credits out of 29 courses offered through the history, American studies, English, psychology and sociology departments, including topics like Asian American literature and modern American immigration, according to the University Bulletin. Students will be required to take an Introduction to Asian American Studies class, one introductory course in history that covers race or immigration, one 3000-level course in Asian American or postcolonial studies and nine elective credits.
