文学学士/美国研究文学硕士

“美国研究”计划鼓励对美国的文化和政治进行跨学科研究，不断变化的民族认同代表以及随着时间的推移建设边疆和流散文化。该专业的每个学生都将美国研究课程与其他相关学科（文学，历史，艺术和社会科学）的课程相结合，以从本地，国家和全球角度探索这些广泛的主题。通过选择重点领域，每个学生都将重点放在专业的课程工作上。该计划鼓励在非传统学科组合中开展学术工作，但同时，它假定并要求在美国历史和文化领域具有扎实的知识基础。鼓励对本专业感兴趣的学生尽早与本科研究（DUS）主任进行协商。所有美国研究专业的学生都必须修读该计划的教
The American Studies program encourages the interdisciplinary study of the cultures and politics of the United States, the changing representations of national identity, and the construction of borderland and diasporic cultures over time. Each student in the major combines courses in American Studies with courses from other relevant disciplines (literature, history, the arts, and the social sciences) to explore these broad topics from local, national, and global perspectives. Through the selection of an area of concentration, each student develops a focus for coursework in the major. The program encourages scholarly work in nontraditional combinations of disciplines, at the same time, however, it assumes and requires a substantial foundation of knowledge in the history and culture of the United States. Students interested in the major are encouraged to consult with the director of undergraduate studies (DUS) as early as possible.
