Humanities Department

Minor - American Studies

This interdisciplinary program offers students the opportunity to study American culture and society. In addition to the focus on a better understanding of American culture, there is emphasis upon analytic skills, close reasoning, and effective communication, providing useful preparation for graduate study, for elementary or secondary teaching, or for careers in law, public service or government (for requirements in the minor in American Studies, see index).
