American Studies Minor


Coordinator: Ryan K. Anderson

American Studies is an academic discipline concerned with the diversity of the American experience; it is a liberal arts program designed to provide students with an opportunity for multidisciplinary study of the culture of the United States through a variety of perspectives, including history, art, music, literature, film, ethnic studies, and gender studies. Having a cultural studies focus, the program examines America through forms of expression and through its major social, economic, and political structures, both in the past and the present. See the Department of History  for a complete description of this program.
