M.A. in American Studies

The American Studies master's program combines coursework from American Studies and related departments such as art, education, English, history and criminal justice.

In this program, you'll choose courses from four focus areas. In addition, you'll personalize your curriculum even further by selecting one of two professional tracks to direct your career to public practice or teaching.

Graduates of the program who are already teachers can employ new skills in the classroom, while other graduates become prepared for working in museums and libraries, organizing community development and arts projects, or creating print and multimedia materials for a variety of industries.
