美国研究文学学士学位

AMST专业比IDS专业更具体，但采用类似的结构，可帮助学生专注于美国和更广阔的美洲特色的跨学科主题。例如，最近在AMST进行的一个学生项目专注于SEC足球比赛中的种族形象，而另一个项目则是在美国高中教科书中介绍日本实习的历史。AMST专业遵循与IDS专业相同的教职指导和框架课程结构，但所有AMST专业都需要AMST 201美国研究导论。在ILA以外的部门中，有几个隶属于Emory的教师接受了美国研究的培训，这反映了AMST是跨学科研究中公认的子领域的事实。
American Studies will teach you how to think expansively and critically about American culture. Our courses will allow you to understand the patterns of American culture as they have changed over time, and as they are reflected in the particular experiences of Americans from different regions, social classes, races, ethnicities, genders and national backgrounds. The major will immerse you in the subject of American culture, as well as in the interdisciplinary methods of American Studies, which seek insight through multiple perspectives on phenomena, events, or currents in American culture. You will be exposed to several disciplinary perspectives through the Contributing Courses and also to models for integrating such perspectives in the Core Course, the Introduction, and the Senior Symposium. Our major is designed to help you explore the borders of American nationality as well as the contexts in which the American experience has unfolded. Our faculty have a wide range of scholarly interests and are affiliated with the English, Women's Studies, Sociology, Religion and History Departments at Emory.
