Overview
Welcome to the American Studies Minor, an interdisciplinary program that invites you to explore the rich tapestry of American culture, history, and society. This minor provides a comprehensive understanding of the United States through multiple lenses, integrating perspectives from history, literature, political science, sociology, and the arts.
Our curriculum is designed to encourage critical thinking and foster a deep appreciation of the diverse narratives that shape the American experience. To earn an American Studies minor, students must apply in writing to the Chair of either the English or History Department and have a sequence of courses designed and approved to meet specific goals. Applications are available in either Chair’s office.
