American Studies is an interdisciplinary program designed to develop in-depth knowledge of American society, past and present. Drawing its curriculum from approved courses in other departments and its own core courses, the program weaves traditionally divergent disciplines together so that students gain a broad understanding of American life and culture. The Minor in American Studies is open to students of all majors. Students may complete the program by fulfilling requirements for the minor.
A Minor in American Studies consists of 18 credit hours: 6 credit hours of American Studies courses and 12 credit hours of American Studies courses or approved American-content courses from other departments.
