Classics makes a dynamic and rewarding stand alone major, but it can be (and often is) paired with a second major.

American Studies
- Northampton, USA
Course
On-Campus

The object of inquiry in American studies is cultureโusefully defined as a societyโs โwhole way of lifeโโthe sum of the ways a society and its subjects at once understand and remake the world. Taking the contested and complex geographical, political and cultural space(s) named by America as a field for exploration, we ask how people in these spaces, in the present and in the past, make sense of their world, their relationships and themselves. Because culture includes everything from agriculture and architecture to xenophobia and zoos, American studies draws on the insights and methods of numerous academic disciplines, such as history, economics, sociology, anthropology, literary studies, art history, political science and musicology.
