Asian and Asian American Studies Minor

Minor Requirements

The AAS program offers a minor to students who wish to supplement their major through participation in a cross-disciplinary program. The minor consists of the following requirements:

• A total of six (6) AAAS courses are required for the minor.
• Two (2) of the courses must be at the introductory level (100 or 200).
• Three (3) additional courses are required, at least two (2) of which must be at the 300 or 400 level.
• The AAAS Major Seminar (AAAS 496) or another 400-level AAAS seminar is required.
• At least one (1) course needs to be designated as Asian Studies.
• At least one (1) course needs to be designated as Asian American Studies.
• Up to two (2) Asian language courses may be applied toward the major.
• Only one (1) course may be taken Pass/Fail.
• At least four (4) courses must be completed at Binghamton University.
• Although the grade of D is passing, a grade of C- or better is necessary for a course to count toward the minor.

No more than one course may be taken Pass/Fail. Students must complete at least four of the courses (24 credits) at Binghamton University. Although the Asian and Asian American Studies program views the grade of D as passing, a grade of C- or better is necessary for a course to count towards the minor.
