What is Asian American Studies?

Asian American Studies is opportunity and change. An established field. A growing field. One of the hottest, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. Opportunity. Change. Asian American Studies does more than watch. It alters the status quo. The status quo of book learning alone. Of narrow specializations. Of walls separating classrooms and communities. Asian American Studies has something for you. Practical knowledge. Skills development. Academic rigor. Job training. Community service. Real-life preparation for the career you step into once you’ve graduated. The help you want in preparing resumes or applying for graduate and professional schools.
