Majors in American Studies
The American Studies major (B.A., B.S. or Pre-Law B.S. option) is designed for students interested in bridging perspectives from several disciplines. The program combines structure with latitude in course selection and allows students to develop a plan of study tailored to meet their specific goals and interests. In addition to two required courses in American Studies (AMST3223 Theories and Methods and AMST4973 Senior Seminar), students will gain a foundation in American literature and history and may select additional courses in the humanities and social sciences according to their interests. Students interested in going to law school, should derive their electives from a specialized list of course options.
