Bachelor of Arts in American Studies

Program Overview

As American Studies scholar George Lipsitz has noted, American Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines American history, life and culture. The work of American Studies takes place both on campuses and in our communities. American Studies scholars investigate where the ideals of American democracy are at their finest and where they remain incomplete. We ask key questions like: What is an American? What are the lived experiences of people who inhabit our nation? How do race, class, gender, and sexuality shape these experiences? How and why is culture important to our lives and identities? How do we represent the past and what importance-and limitations-do these representations have? How and why does culture-including popular culture, the arts, and literature- serve as a site of social struggle? How do diverse groups within the Americas imagine their identities and their relation to the United States? What happens when we look at our world(s) from a variety of perspectives?
