AMERICAN STUDIES
• BACHELOR OF ARTS/BACHELOR OF SCIENCE • PRE-LAW OPTIONS AVAILABLE American Studies examines the history, culture and society of the United States from a multidisciplinary, multicultural and transnational perspective. The program investigates the people and ideas that have shaped the nation using an eclectic array of tools — from sociology and political science to history, literature, cultural and media studies. AMST courses emphasize issues of identity, social power and social responsibility with a particular focus on the importance of race, class, gender and sexuality in American life. In addition to a well-rounded liberal arts education, students in the program learn to conduct research, analyze information, speak clearly, write well and share their knowledge in multiple media formats — skills today’s employers say they most desire. American Studies is an ideal foundational degree for graduate study, including a pre-law option for students considering law school.
