Being an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander*-Serving Institution (AANAPISI) means that UC Berkeley has a significant population of Asian American and Pacific Islander students on our campus and meets additional requirements set by the U.S. Department of Education.

The AANAPISI designation gives UC Berkeley the opportunity to expand the support, resources, and services we offer to Asian American and Pacific Islander (AA and PI) people and communities across our campus by creating institutional infrastructures and inclusive cultures.
