Abstract
My research project looked at the motivations and reasons behind students becoming Asian American studies minors, with an attempt to focus on reasons of ethnic formation and self-identity issues. Other aspects of this research included finding out what interested Asian American studies minors the most, and what issues they felt more passionate about. Information was gathered through a observation of an Asian American studies class and interviews with two Asian American studies minors and the Asian American studies student adviser. Through my research I found that while there were certainly strong feelings about identity development, there were other major motivations of social justice and creating cross cultural connections.
