Why Asian Pacific American Studies?

Asian Pacific American Studies (APAM) supports Loyola Marymount University’s commitment to multicultural education. APAM is designed to enhance student understanding of the histories and contemporary issues that impact the lives of Asian Pacific Americans in the United States. People of all races and ethnicities are encouraged to enroll in APAM courses. Only through a critical understanding of our multicultural society can we begin to “live together, learn together, work together, and forge new ties that bind together.”
