American Studies (AMST)
Professor of Political Science Landis and Professor of English Couser, Co-Chairpersons, American Studies Advisory Committee Educationally
distinctive, American Studies is both intensive, in having America as
its unvarying concern, and extensive, in relying upon different
disciplines. For the students and teachers involved, American Studies
means joining in a shared effort with persons whose concerns are
partly, or even largely, at variance with one’s own. Such an approach
offers a special opportunity to integrate knowledge of American
literature, history, politics, economics, art and philosophy into a
complex but meaningful whole.
Taking a minor or a major in American Studies permits the student to
see a single subject, America, in different ways with the help of
various academic departments and disciplines. Such minor and major
programs are readily adapted, with advisement, to the needs, abilities
and preferences of the individual student.
American Studies is an interdisciplinary alternative for undergraduates
looking forward to graduate work and careers in public service, law,
higher education, and other fields associated with the social sciences
and humanities.
