Why Major in American Studies
Why major in American Studies?
Students in the American Studies major study US culture and its local, regional, national, and global forms and effects. Our methods are interdisciplinary and creative—meaning we combine the best approaches from the traditional disciplines, often to ask unconventional questions of unconventional sources.
We are also an intellectual community committed to fostering interactions between undergraduates and faculty members.
