The Program
The American Studies Track is an interdisciplinary program allowing students to take courses in different academic departments that focus on the concept of American culture. The American studies approach emphasizes the interrelatedness of history, literature, the arts and popular culture. Students examine American institutions, ideas and material forms in order to better understand their past and shape their futures. The track is designed for those students who may wish to have careers in fields such as teaching, law, museum work, and journalism where a broad knowledge of American history and culture is desirable.
A minor is available for those students with another major who want to learn more about American culture. Students interested in material culture or museum work have the opportunity to receive units for internships at a number of area museums or historical sites.
Requirements for the Track
Students majoring in the American Studies Track must complete 45 units with a grade equivalent of 2.00 or higher in each course.
