-Degree Requirements-
School Location
American Studies 11 and 12 are required of all majors. Students may also fulfill this requirement by taking American Studies 11 or American Studies 12 twice when the topic changes. In addition, all majors will take American Studies 68, the junior seminar, and, in the senior year, American Studies 77 and 78 in order to write an interdisciplinary essay on an aspect of American experience. Ideally, majors take these courses in order, but study abroad or other contingencies may make this impossible in individual classes.

Students also take seven other courses about American society and culture. At least three of these courses should be in one department or concentrated on a single theme. At least three of the seven courses should be devoted largely to the study of a period before the twentieth century. Since the topics of American Studies 11 and 12 change frequently, majors may take more than two of these courses courses and count the third as one of the seven electives and/or one of the courses concentrated on America before the twentieth century.
