UMD’s Asian American Studies program investigates the diverse experiences, cultures, and histories of Asian Americans within broader American society. Interdisciplinary in nature, the curriculum includes courses in sociology, history, literature, and public policy to explore issues such as migration, identity, race, and representation. Students engage in community-based research, cultural critique, and advocacy projects that prepare them for work in education, social justice, public service, and law. The program emphasizes critical thinking and cultural competence in addressing issues of equity and inclusion.
