What does it mean to be American?
Program Highlights
This Bachelor of Arts degree program engages students in the interdisciplinary study of American cultures. It explores and questions American values, traditions, and histories. Considering the interactions between the United States and other cultures, our program emphasizes America’s past and present in both national and transnational contexts.American Studies majors also have unique educational opportunities outside the classroom, including national and local internships, service learning projects, and international exchange programs. These experiences allow students to better understand global politics and social issues while becoming responsible citizens through active community involvement.
