Educational pursuits of Asian Americans are often examined from a cultural perspective. However, little research has investigated the association between racial barriers and educational pursuits and the moderation effect of cultural factors on this association. Research was conducted with 209 participants having East Asian backgrounds through Hierarchical multiple/logistic regressions. Although cultural factors did not serve as moderators between a racial barrier and educational pursuits, the results suggested that a racial barrier in non-educational based occupations, such as politics and two cultural factors, including utility of education and honoring parents, predicted effort-related activities. Utility of education also seemed to predict GPA and a major in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. Results, limitations and directions for future research were discussed.
