This major is offered out of the School of Humanities.
Students have many opportunities for individualized study.
The core curriculum provides a common intellectual experience for all Humanities students and establishes a foundation for the study of Western and non-Western cultures. Small classes, an outstanding multidisciplinary faculty, and an excellent location for valuable internship experiences are just some of the features of the program. For a B.HUM. degree in American Studies, a minimum of 120 credits are required. Students should generally have completed most of their General Education requirements. A limited number of 001-200 level courses are offered at Penn State Harrisburg for students who need lower division courses.
