American Studies minors must meet and maintain a 2.5 GPA admissions and graduation standard.

Students are required to complete the following:

B. Disciplinary Area Exploration Courses (6 credits)


Students must take one course from two of the following disciplinary areas (2 courses total): 1) American History and Government, 2) American Literature and Folklore, 3) American Social Sciences, 4) American Environmental Studies, and 5) American Art, Media, and Communication Studies. Courses fulfilling the requirement in each discipline are listed below.

Note: Some classes listed do not specifically note American content in the class title and the content must be approved by the program advisor for the class to be used toward the requirements. Please see advisor for courses that fall under this category.

American History and Government:
