BA in American Studies

The American & New England Studies Program (AMNESP) offers an intellectually diverse, flexible, student-centered major in American Studies that explores the richness of the American experience within national and global contexts. By drawing upon a variety of intellectual traditions, students learn to understand and interpret disparate American cultures as they are expressed in a range of forms: from seventeenth century buildings to electronic media and from fine art to patterns of political engagement. Majors work with renowned and wide-ranging faculty, located across departments and schools, to tailor their own interdisciplinary course of study to individual interests and goals.
