Alumni Spotlight

The Department of Asian American Studies produces more scholars for the field of Asian American studies than any other university in the country. We also house the largest Asian American studies teaching program nationwide, which annually offers more than 70 courses and enrolls more than 2,000 students.

These tremendous achievements could not have been made without the continuing support and encouragement of our alumni and friends, which enable us to maintain UCLA’s standing as a national leader in our field.
