What is the difference beteen a minor and a major in Asian American Studies?
One of the biggest “differences” between the Asian American Studies (AAS) major and the minor are the in their requirements. The major requires fifteen (15) courses while the minor only requries seven (7) courses. The major clearly allows students more training and in-depth study of AAS. The minor, on the other hand, offers students a solid foundation in AAS. Often students decide to minor in AAS rather than major because, while they are interested in AAS, they do not have enough units to double major within University’s 216 (plus Advanced Placement units) unit maximum. Other students are in the School of Engineering (SEAS), and SEAS students are only can only complete minors in the College of Letters and Science.
