American Studies Major

PDF Printable Brochure

Description

The American studies major is designed to provide students with an interdisciplinary learning experience that focuses on critical examinations of American life and culture. This major approaches the question of what defines "America” from many directions, rather than from the perspective of a single discipline. The main disciplines of the major include the arts, literature, history, and humanities. The American studies major gives students a foundation for many types of graduate study, as well as the pursuit of various careers in fields such as law, government, public relations, and education.

The American studies major is offered during the day and evening on NSU’s main campus.

Learning Outcomes

A successful American studies graduate is expected to:

  1. Evaluate American civic issues critically;
  2. Synthesize various media and methods from multiple disciplines in an exploration of the construction of the American character;
  3. Evaluate America as a whole cultural category.
