MAJORING IN ASIAN AMERICAN STUDIES Scripps College Interdisciplinary MajorA Scripps student may petition the Committee on Academic Review for a self-designed interdisciplinary major or minor in Asian American Studies. Courses should be chosen carefully, in close consultation with the student’s academic advisor and with regard for the existing resources within the Claremont Colleges. A self-designed interdisciplinary Asian American Studies major consists of eight upper-division courses (at least one of which is a seminar) chosen from the Intercollegiate Department of Asian American Studies courses plus a senior thesis. Appropriate courses in ethnic studies and Asian studies are recommended to provide further perspective.
Interdisciplinary Minor A self-designed interdisciplinary Asian American Studies minor consists of six upper-division courses chose from the Intercollegiate Department of Asian American Studies courses. These courses must be outside and in addition to those in the student’s major discipline; courses do not double count for both a major and minor requirement. A Scripps student may petition the Committee on Academic Review to have course work completed in Asian American Studies outside the Intercollegiate Department of Asian American Studies count as courses toward her self-designed major or minor. However, a majority of her courses must be chosen from the Intercollegiate Department of Asian American Studies curriculum.
