The mission of the San Jose State University AAS degree program is to empower students
to create a more socially-just and equitable society. AAS students will be applying
interdisciplinary theories into action, cultivating critical thought, and serving
Asian American communities.

sexuality, using an interdisciplinary lens from fields such as history, sociology,
and literature.
The Department of Sociology and Interdisciplinary Social Sciences offers minors in
Asian American Studies, Sociology, and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.
