How to Declare a Minor in Asian American Studies

The DUS is responsible for approving and signing all Declaration of Minor forms, all transfer credits, study abroad approvals and credit evaluation/transfer and, most importantly, all petitions to graduate. All Northwestern undergraduates who are interested in the minor or who want to talk about Asian American Studies are encouraged to meet with the DUS. Email for an appointment.
This worksheet can help you plan for a minor in Asian American Studies. It’s a great way to take stock of where you are before you meet with the DUS to talk about your interest in the major.
