Description
The purpose of the American Studies Interdepartmental major is to allow students the opportunity to cultivate a multi-dimensional picture of our culture as a complement to or in relation to another area of concentration, be it Middle Eastern history or an area of interest outside the humanities and social sciences. As with the full American Studies major, interdepartmental majors must focus their coursework around a coherent topic, either chronologically or thematically. (See possible concentrations under requirements for major.)
