Applicable only to students admitted during the 2014-2015 academic year. Asian American StudiesCollege of Letters and Science Graduate DegreesThe Department of Asian American Studies offers the Master of Arts (M.A.) degree in Asian American Studies.Master’s DegreeAdvisingUpon admission to the program, students are assigned an interim faculty adviser. Students are expected to meet with the interim faculty adviser, at the beginning of each quarter, to review their progress and for approval of their enrollment plan. Students may change their faculty adviser(s) as the student’s project evolves or for any other reason, contingent on discussion between the student and the interim faculty adviser.At the beginning of the second year in residence, students are expected to nominate a three-person master’s thesis committee that, once approved by the program, is sent to the Graduate Division for appointment. This committee, which is usually chaired by the student’s faculty adviser, is responsible for supervising, reviewing, and finally approving the M.A.
The committee also conducts an examination of the student on the topic of the thesis. Students who plan to complete the M.A. Degree through a written comprehensive examination rather than a thesis follow the specific procedures outlined under Comprehensive Examination Plan.Areas of StudyAsian American Studies is an interdisciplinary major and its major fields are determined by the participating faculty from various disciplines.Foreign Language RequirementPrior to advancement to candidacy, students must fulfill either Requirement A or Requirement B:A.

Degree may be completed through a written comprehensive examination. This examination is administered by a committee consisting of three faculty members chosen by the student.
At least two faculty members need to be those who have taught the core series. The third may be chosen by the student in consultation with the faculty adviser. Requirements of the exam option include the following components: (1) designing three original syllabi with accompanying narratives that rationalize the course designs, (2) compiling a comprehensive annotated bibliography based on the content of the three courses, and (3) taking an oral examination based on (1) and (2).
The examination is normally offered during the Spring Quarter. Students must notify the Student Affairs Officer of their intention to take the written examination at least one academic quarter before the exam. Students are given two oppotunities to pass the examination.
Academic credit for examination preparation is given through Asian American Studies 597.Plan B (Creative Project). This option is intended to provide the opportunity to design, research, and complete a creative project (e.g., short-story or poetry collection, art installation, documentary video, website, or playscript) with significance regarding some aspect of the historical or contemporary experiences of Asian Americans. A committee of three faculty members is normally constituted by the beginning of the student’s second year in residence in the Fall Quarter, at which time the student is expected to submit for approval a project plan and timetable. After approval and completion of the creative project, the committee conducts an oral examination on it subject, usually in the Spring Quarter of the second year.If the student chooses to do a non-written creative project (e.g., film, mural), it must be accompanied by an essay that is filed as a thesis. This requires the student to officially nominate a master’s committee through the Graduate Division and be advanced to master’s candidacy under the Thesis Plan (Plan I) rather than the Comprehensive Examination Plan (Plan II). The content of this thesis, in tandem with the project, must be approved by the student’s committee.
The approved thesis must be prepared and filed in accord with University regulations governing thesis preparation. Academic credit for thesis research and preparation is through Asian American Studies 598.Thesis PlanEvery master’s degree thesis plan requires the completion of an approved thesis that demonstrates the student’s ability to perform original, independent research.Plan A (Thesis). The thesis is intended to provide the opportunity for independent scholarly research on the historical and contemporary experiences of the Asian American population and should be an original contribution to the field. It should be the length and quality of a publishable journal article. A thesis committee of three faculty members is normally constituted at the beginning of the student’s second year in residence in the Fall Quarter, at which time the student is expected to submit a plan of research for approval.
After approval and completion of the thesis, the committee conducts an oral examination on its subject, usually in the Spring Quarter of the second year. The approved thesis must be typed and filed according to University regulations governing thesis preparation. Academic credit for thesis research and preparation is given through Asian American Studies 598.Plan B (Field Research Thesis). A field research thesis is recommended for students who are interested in the practical application of what they have learned in their graduate coursework or who intend to pursue careers with Asian American community organizations and agencies. A field research thesis committee, consisting of three faculty members (one of whom is designated as the chair) and possibly the chief administrative officer of the client community organization, meets with the student and approves the project plan at the beginning of the student’s second year in residence in the Fall Quarter.
The chief administrative officer of the client community organization may either be appointed as an additional member of the committee, in which case the officer would be expected to read and sign the thesis as the fourth member, or serve as an unofficial and non-appointed consultant for the student, in which case the officer would not sign the thesis. After the thesis is completed, the committee conducts an oral examination on the written report of the thesis, usually in Spring Quarter of the student’s second year. The approved thesis report must be typed and filed according to University regulations governing thesis preparation.
Academic credit for field research is given through course Asian American Studies 596 or 598.Time-to-DegreeThe M.A. Degree is designed as a two-year program of study. Following admission, an average of six quarters in residence are required to complete degree requirements, assuming no deficiencies need to be addressed through remedial courses outside of regular requirements (e.g., English 33 for international students with an English language deficiency). Coursework should be completed during the first four quarters of study. The foreign language/research methods requirement should be completed by the fifth quarter.
