The Asian American Studies Program offers one of the most flexible and dynamic concentrations offered at Cornell University. One key benefit of the program lies in the reality that many occupations are looking for individuals with strong multicultural perspectives and a broad understanding of ethnic issues.

The centerpiece of the Asian American Studies Program's curriculum is its undergraduate concentration. Open to all undergraduates throughout Cornell University, the concentration affords students an opportunity to develop an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Asians in the hemispheric Americas. The course of study stresses developments within the United States, but also underscores the transnational and comparative contexts of Asian America and the field's connections with African American, American Indian, U.S. Latino, and Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.
