Event

Are you an ASAM Minor or are you interested in joining the ASAM Minor? Please join us for lunch and networking on March 31st at noon at McNeil 473. Please RSVP in advance here!

The ASAM minor is meant to prepare students intellectually as well as socially for careers and lives in a world of increasing diversity and difference. It brings together critical and creative approaches from the humanities and the arts with the analytic methods of the social sciences to contextualize in a comparative context the multiple dimensions, facets, opportunities, and challenges of the Asian American experience. Our wide-ranging courses examine the history, politics, culture, and psychology of ever-changing Asian and Asian American communities in North America and the diaspora. Our flexible program of study complements majors in the arts, education, finance, pre-law and pre-medicine, politics, public service, science, and technology. ASAM undergraduate minors acquire critical thinking skills and an in-depth knowledge that will enrich their intellectual experience at Penn while gaining a distinct expertise that will make them stand out in their post-collegiate lives and careers.
