Asian American Studies
Minor in Asian American Studies
Director: Sandra So Hee Chi Kim
The Asian American Studies minor (AAM) at Stony Brook University provides students
with an interdisciplinary understanding of the histories, cultures, and contemporary
experiences of Asian American communities. The program emphasizes the diverse social,
political, and cultural forces that shape these communities, both historically and
in the present.
This flexible program complements a wide range of majors and prepares students for
graduate study or careers in areas such as education, law, healthcare, public policy,
the arts, and community advocacy. Students are encouraged to consult with the Asian
American Studies director to plan their coursework and explore opportunities for deeper
engagement.
