The certificate program is open to any undergraduate student regardless of major or college who has an interest in Asian American Studies and is in good academic standing at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Students enrolled in the certificate program also have the option to declare an emphasis in HMoob American Studies.

While many of the courses below are cross-listed, registration under Asian American Studies ensures that credits earned for the certificate are recognized by the registrar’s office upon filing a Certificate Declaration form. Not all courses are offered each term. Topic courses may be repeated for credit.
