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. A limited number of 001-200 level courses are offered at Penn State Harrisburg for students who need lower division courses. The evaluation of prior college work is done on an individual basis by the Office of Enrollment Services at Penn State Harrisburg.
