Majors must also complete nine electives in American Studies, a capstone class, and twelve hours outside the major in consultation with an advisor.
Most students find a minor can be accommodated within their regular program.
Minors in American Studies are particularly useful in journalism, business, education and those fields that are served by creative thinking that draws inspiration from more than one area. Both of these classes will meet other University obligations. Meantim e, you'll have the opportunity to see whether American Studies is for you. Finally, the American Studies program periodically sponsors field trips and programs that are open to all students. Keep an eye out for announcements and don't hesitate to sign up.
