UMBC’s Undergraduate Council unanimously approved a proposal from the Department of American Studies to create a Minor in Asian American Studies. The program will require 18 credits (6 courses): three core courses from AMST and three electives. Students will be able to substitute courses from other departments and programs on campus with prior approval from AMST faculty advisors. Students will be able to receive advising for the program in the Spring 2017 semester and will be able to formally enroll in the program in the Fall 2017 semester.
