Minor
MinorOverview
The undergraduate minor in American Studies complements the student's undergraduate major with a compelling program that provides a broad understanding of American culture and society. Building on a foundation of courses in history, politics, and society, literature, culture and the arts, and race and ethnicity, students will learn to analyze and interpret America’s past and present, forging fresh and creative syntheses along the way.
Requirements
To earn a minor in American Studies, students must complete at least 28 units of coursework in the program. Because students may not count courses for both a major and a minor, the specific courses used for an American Studies minor depend on the courses used to satisfy the major requirement.
If the units for these requirements do not total 28, the student must take additional coursework appropriate to American Studies and approved by the Faculty Director, Associate Director, or Program Coordinator to meet the minimum unit requirement. Courses used to satisfy all units taken for the minor must be taken for a letter grade.
