美国研究文学学士学位

在教育上与众不同，《美国研究》既集中了美国作为不变的关注点，又广泛地依赖于不同学科。对于所涉及的学生和老师而言，“美国研究”意味着与关注点部分或什至大部分与个人不同的人共同努力。这种方法为将美国文学，历史，政治，经济学，艺术和哲学的知识整合成一个复杂而有意义的整体提供了特殊的机会。修读美国研究专业的辅修课程可以使学生在各个学术部门和学科的帮助下，以不同的方式看一门美国学科。这样的次要和专业课程可以在个别学生的建议，能力和喜好的指导下轻松进行调整。
Educationally distinctive, American Studies is both intensive, in having America as its unvarying concern, and extensive, in relying upon different disciplines. For the students and teachers involved, American Studies means joining in a shared effort with persons whose concerns are partly, or even largely, at variance with one's own. Such an approach offers a special opportunity to integrate knowledge of American literature, history, politics, economics, art and philosophy into a complex but meaningful whole. Taking a minor or a major in American Studies permits the student to see a single subject, America, in different ways with the help of various academic departments and disciplines. Such minor and major programs are readily adapted, with advisement, to the needs, abilities and preferences of the individual student.
