American Studies Program Handbook, Introduction

The major in American Studies enables a student to pursue her liberal arts education by focusing on American society and culture in the past and present. Instead of specializing in one of the traditional disciplines, she combines several disciplines (e.g., history, art history, literature, economics) in the sequence of courses she takes to fulfill her major requirements. This Handbook is designed to assist present and prospective majors, as well as faculty advisers, in interpreting those requirements and in getting a sense of how the major relates to the broader liberal arts curriculum. Based on the Smith College Catalogue, it lists the requirements for the major plus a list of the courses most commonly taken for credit toward the major.
