Ameri­can Stud­ies exam­ines Amer­ican cul­ture, which in­cludes an ex­plor­a­tion of the arts, ideas, skills, and insti­tut­ions in U.S. so­ciety.

The de­gree pro­gram is de­signed to pro­vide stu­dents with the rigor­ous in­ter­disci­plin­ary train­ing neces­sary to trans­fer into bac­calau­reate pro­grams in not only Amer­ican Stu­dies, but re­lated fields as well, such as Eng­lish, His­tory, Politi­cal Sci­ence, Edu­cation, Socio­logy, Anthro­pology, and others.
