* Asian American Studies core faculty Return to Asian American Studies IntroductionThe program in Asian American Studies introduces students to the history, culture, arts, and life experiences of people of Asian descent in the United States, and in other parts of the world. The term Asian American applies to groups from diverse cultural heritages within the United States, including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Asian Indian, Pakistani, Vietnamese, Hmong, Cambodian, Burmese, as well as Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander. In attending to these populations, the undergraduate minor aims to foster awareness of Asian American experiences and contributions as part of the multicultural and multiracial history and ongoing development of the American experience, and to locate this experience in a larger global context. Its faculty members undertake a wide range of research and scholarship on issues such as Asian immigration, community development, labor market status, physical and mental health, gender and sexual politics, ethnic and diasporic identities, cultural representations, civil rights, and citizenship. Courses in Asian American Studies provide students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of these issues from an interdisciplinary perspective that includes history, sociology, literature, ethnography and media studies, political science, applied health science, and counseling psychology. Students in Asian American Studies not only learn the traditional skills in critical analysis and research, but also develop domestic and global perspectives as effective and responsible agents in a rapidly changing twenty-first century world.

Human Biology
Introduction IntroductionMany of the complex issues our society faces, from global epidemics and the rising cost of health care to environmental problems like peak oil or global warming, involve both biological and social components. The B.S. and B.A. degrees and the Certificate in Human Biology (HUBI) provide students the opportunity to gain an appreciation for the complexity of humanity by exploring the social, cultural, and ethical consequences of biological issues. A multidisciplinary perspective is essential for understanding the science behind these issues and helping to find real solutions to these twenty-first century problems. In the Human Biology curriculum, students study cases from the perspectives of different disciplines; work with team members to generate and present cases; participate in experiential learning environments such as community service, peer instruction, and original research; and communicate their work to a larger community using various media. The Human Biology program is designed around a core sequence of four interdisciplinary 3-credit courses, each paired with a 1-credit seminar course. In addition to the core curriculum, students take foundation courses, constituting breadth of study, and courses in a single area of concentration, allowing for more in-depth study in their area of interest. Each area of concentration includes courses from both the life science perspective and the historical, social, arts, and humanities perspectives. The areas of concentration are: Human Health and Disease This concentration examines the biological basis for disease as well as the social and cultural implications of health and society. Human Reproduction and Sexuality This concentration focuses on human reproduction and sexuality both from a biological standpoint and from a psychological and social perspective. Human Environment and Ecology This concentration addresses humans as organisms interfacing with their environment and the resulting effects of this interaction on the human condition. Human Origins and Survival This concentration emphasizes the biological basis of human origins, variation, and physiological adaptation through the study of genetics and evolutionary processes, as well as the role of health, disease, and medicine in cultural and evolutionary adaptations. Human Growth and Development This concentration explores the development of the human body and mind, including the mechanisms and processes of change across the human lifespan, from a biological as well as a social and cultural perspective. Major in Human Biology—B.A.Purpose The B.A. degree in human biology is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in science while exploring their personal interests about the human condition. Students who elect to pursue a B.A. in human biology might have interests in multiple areas of study, such as the social aspects of health issues—social services, gender studies, education, ethics and law, journalism, environmental policy, or resource management. The B.A. degree allows for more breadth in a student’s course work and the possibility for double majoring. Students can also elect to fulfill the requirements necessary for medical, dental, optometry, allied health sciences, and graduate school programs. Major Requirements In addition to the requirements for the B.A. degree in the College of Arts and Sciences, students must complete 40 credit hours from the following:
Recommendations Human Biology Program students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities available at IU Bloomington to complement their area of concentration by seeking internships, working in research laboratories, attending seminars, or becoming human biology peer instructors. Major in Human Biology—B.S.Purpose The B.S. degree in Human Biology is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in the different perspectives of human biology while they focus their course work in their specific area of concentration. Many human biology B.S. degree students are preparing for a graduate education or professional school in medicine, dentistry, optometry, allied health sciences, business, or law. Students can also prepare for careers in the life science industries or pursue original research with their specialization in the sciences. B.S. students will gain a strong quantitative and ethical science background while developing problem-solving skills using the case-based, team-based approach of the Human Biology Program’s core courses. Requirements Students must complete the following fundamental skills and distribution requirements:
Major Requirements
Recommendations Human biology students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities available at IU Bloomington to complement their area of concentration by seeking internships, working in research laboratories, attending seminars, or becoming human biology peer instructors. Certificate in Human BiologyPurpose The Certificate in Human Biology provides a broad and rigorous introduction to the biological sciences and relates these sciences to the problems raised by relationships of human beings to one another and to their environment. This distinctive program is designed to meet societal demand for students with broad biological knowledge and a scientific approach to problem-solving, who also possess an understanding of the social and cultural issues facing them as scientists. What is the biological basis of life, diversity, and disease? What is the biological basis of human behavior? How does the social construct of our society influence science and our understanding of what it means to be human? These are samples of the types of broad questions that can be explored within the Certificate in Human Biology. Requirements A student may earn a certificate as part of completing the bachelor’s degree and in addition to completing requirements for a major. Students should contact the Human Biology Program advising office to apply for the certificate. Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.700 at the time of admission and must maintain this GPA to graduate with the certificate. Additionally, in order to complete the certificate, students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.000 in courses taken for the certificate. Students will also be required to complete exit surveys and to develop an electronic portfolio that demonstrates the connections students have made between the courses they complete as part of the certificate and their goals for career and further study after graduation. The certificate requires 27–28 credit hours as follows:
