Asian American Studies Concentration at Cornell

The program's undergraduate concentration affords students an opportunity to develop a multidisciplinary 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, Latino, and Women's Studies.

Students must work with a faculty adviser from among the program's affiliated faculty and must complete at least 15 units of credits as follows:


a) AAS 110 and 2 additional courses in Asian American Studies;

AND

b) 1 course in African American, American Indian, U.S. Latino Studies, or Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies*;

AND

c) 1 course in East Asian, South Asian, or Southeast Asian Studies.*

(*These courses must be approved by the student's faculty adviser, and they should address issues of race, gender, or the histories and cultures of Asian peoples.)



Students must file an application for the concentration with the Asian American Studies Program.
