Students are required to complete the following:

A. The Foundational Requirements (12 credits)

At least one of these two courses must be at the 4000-level or above; the other must be at the 3000-level or above. Students may petition to have one of these courses substituted by a  3000- or 4000-level course on American Culture from another field (such as Sociology, Environmental Studies, Art History, Political Science, or Women and Gender Studies).

These courses of study must be approved by the Director of American Studies or by the American Studies advisor (contact CHaSS Advising, Taggart Student Center 302) at least one year in advance of graduation.

Courses used to fulfill requirements for the English and History majors may not be used for the American Studies minor.
