American Studies
Interdepartmental Programs
The American Studies major offers an exploration of American civilization in a structured, integrated manner and allows the freedom of choice desirable in this broadly interdepartmental major. The major enables the student to study the culture in some depth, learning of its many facets and synthesizing the knowledge and ideas acquired.
- A student majoring in American Studies must have a plan of study approved by the student's advisor and by the American Studies Major Committee (ASC). The proposal form should be obtained from the administrative coordinator.
- Students wishing to include off campus programs, transfer credits, occasional courses, and other courses not listed below should, whenever possible, obtain prior approval from ASC. All such courses must be approved by ASC before the student may officially complete the major.
- Proposals for Independent Studies (AMS 8_5) should be submitted to ASC three weeks before pre registration for the term in which the study is to be conducted and may not be considered if submitted less than two weeks before that term begins.
