American Studies is an interdisciplinary program offering a PhD, two Master's tracks (General and Public Humanities), and an undergraduate minor. Social justice is at the core of our program. We believe that interdisciplinary training in American Studies provides a critical foundation to understanding our world and changing it. We believe that the humanities must speak to diverse experiences and communities, and that this work can only be done successfully with a diverse faculty and student body. Understanding that diversity and inclusion are two of the most pressing issues facing cultural and educational institutions, we are committed to recruiting and mentoring students from underrepresented communities. Our program is committed to training a generation of leaders in the humanities who are representative of the diverse identities and communities they serve.
