Established in Spring 2022, Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Studies is a multidisciplinary minor program offered by the Asian American and Pacific Islander Studies Committee at Central.  The AAPI Studies minor draws from social science, history, and both literary and cultural traditions to provide students with the knowledge and understanding of the experiences and contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States.

Certificate in Racial Justice

Central’s interdisciplinary Certificate in Racial Justice is designed to educate currently enrolled students and continuing education students about such concepts as anti-racism, advocacy, white privilege, and institutionalized racism in the United States. The anti-racist education will expand an understanding of systemic racism in the United States, providing citizens and students with tools to advocate for and begin to repair social, cultural, economic, and legal inequalities that affect our neighborhoods and our nation.
