ASIAN-AMERICAN STUDIES

Program Overview

Asian-American Studies examines the needs, conditions and contributions of Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Korean, and Asian Indians to the United States. This department explores the hitherto neglected aspects of the social, political, economic, and cultural factors of Asians in America. In doing so, the program addresses common experiences of immigration, race relations, community development, traditional values, U.S. policies, and issues of adoption within a complex society.
