What will I learn?

The Master of Arts program in American Studies is designed to enable students to examine American culture from a broad, interdisciplinary perspective, combining basic cultural studies with advanced professional training. Drawing on the graduate resources of the University at large, students develop individually tailored programs of coursework that reflect their own interests.

Our graduates have used the MA in American Studies as preparation for positions in journalism, public relations, library service, historical preservation, community organizing, private foundation work, law, and education, among other fields.
