The School of American Studies offers a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies. The major focuses on the interdisciplinary study of the American Experience by looking at how people in the United States think about their country and themselves. The Major in American Studies provides a foundation for advanced interdisciplinary study of American culture and current approaches to American cultural studies.
The American Studies Program is professionally affiliated with the American Studies Association and the Mid-America American Studies Association. Because of the program's flexibility, students may pursue their intellectual interests in diverse areas such as literature, history, art and culture, political science, business, nonprofit administration, social work, and character education, among others. Graduates will be prepared to enter the professional world with options in media, government service, law, business, non-profit organizations, museums, libraries, journalism, politics, interpretation and teaching, as well as advanced study in graduate school.
The Boone Home, as a national historic site and the Boonesfield Village, provide opportunities for interdisciplinary experiential learning experiences and strong on site academic courses. The setting permits a unique full immersion learning experience. Students are encouraged to combine disciplines in non-traditional ways by drawing upon the resources of the entire university.
