The Minor

Requirements

The Pilipino Studies minor produces graduates competent in histories and contemporary experiences of Filipinos in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world. Student understanding of historical and contemporary histories of Filipinos is grounded in questions of equality, social justice, and disparity, which supply a vocabulary and critical thinking skills necessary to engage with issues including class, cultural production, gender, identity formation, labor, migration, and representation. The minor consists of broad courses that study national and diasporic identities as a social formation rather than an innate and unchanging biological assignation. As an interdisciplinary field, Pilipino studies draws from American studies, anthropology, Asian studies, Asian American studies, ethnic studies, history, literary and performance studies, Philippine studies, and sociology.

A minimum of 20 units applied toward the minor requirements must be in addition to units applied toward major requirements or another minor.
Each minor course must be taken for a letter grade, and students must have an overall grade-point average of 2.0 or better in the minor. Successful completion of the minor is indicated on the transcript and diploma.

To enter the minor, students must have an overall grade-point average (GPA) of 2.0 or better, have completed the two lower-division minor courses with a GPA of 2.0 or better, and file a petition with the department undergraduate academic adviser, 3339 Rolfe Hall.
