The American Studies Program is designed to provide students with a broad, yet deep, education about the United States. To
ensure breadth, students are required to take an interdisciplinary core course that ranges widely both with respect to the
themes covered and disciplinary perspectives applied. As well, the Program offers a wide selection of courses from
participating departments and programs in the Faculty, giving students broad exposure to fundamental themes of American
life. To ensure depth, the American Studies Program relies heavily on upper level courses, including its own capstone
seminars at the 400-level.
