The former speaks to the ways in which affiliations are created and sustained the latter focuses on patterns of belief and value that give form and meaning to the lived experience of Americans, past and present. Two broad themes inform the department’s teaching and research: the social construction of difference and the culture of everyday life. Through majoring in American studies, students will gain transferable skills in critical thinking, verbal and written communications, analytical thinking and research, all of which are sought by employers and advanced degree programs. Our interdisciplinary focus on cultural constructions and identity is complemented with courses outside the American studies department.
The undergraduate program of American studies offers an interdisciplinary approach to the cultural complexities of the United States and the people, places, literary and visual arts, ideas and institutions that comprise it.
