Program Description	The Filipino and Filipino American Studies Minor serves several purposes. First, this minor strengthens the study of Asian civilizations and U.S. ethnic minority groups at Cal State Hayward by focusing on Filipinos and Filipino Americans. Second, students interested in taking courses related to Filipino and Filipino American experiences will be able to count these courses toward a minor. Third, the minor provides a foundation of cultural and social knowledge for students who plan to take business courses which deal with Filipino American communities and/or who plan to participate in international student exchanges with universities in the Philippines. Currently, students may participate in exchange programs between Cal State Hayward and selected universities in the Philippines such as De La Salle University, University of Northern Philippines, Silliman University, and the University of the Philippines (Diliman).
