In following years, Asian American Studies, Chicano Studies, Native American Studies, and comparative Ethnic Studies programs started at U.C. Berkeley and University of California at Los Angeles. These programs addressed the immigration history and ethnic experiences of Asian Americans and Chinese Americans.
