Value of the Degree

What’s in this degree for me? Where will it take me?
American Studies majors are trained to think broadly and creatively. In your classes, you will learn to identify problems, conduct research that clarifies the history, context and parameters of the problem, and offer suggestions for solutions based on an analysis of the research. You will learn critical thinking skills. American Studies teaches the “soft skills” employers are looking for. Our students are curious and information literate. They know how to:
  • Think clearly and creatively
  • Research and defend a position
  • Communicate in a variety of formats
  • Respect varieties of opinions and experiences

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.
