A three-year curricular development project to create and pilot three new ethnic studies certificate programs and their academic service-learning components.

Azusa Pacific University (APU) is proposing a three-year humanities initiative to enhance our current Ethnic Studies Program by planning and piloting three new Ethnic Studies Certificates in Africana Studies, Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Studies, and Latinx Studies. In the third year of the initiative, the Ethnic Studies program will host an on-campus, one-day event welcoming our local high school students to a college-readiness, connections program that will include a guest speaker that will address the theme, A More Perfect Union as it relates to Ethnic Studies.
