Bachelor of Arts - American Studies

American Studies is the program for those applicants who are intrigued by courses in many fields and find it difficult to decide which program to major in. As an interdisciplinary program, American Studies lets them explore a number of different fields as part of their major -- effectively they can major in the relation of many different fields rather than focusing on only one.

A unique feature of the American Studies program is the Focus Area, which enables students to shape over a third of their major or minor themselves. They will have the opportunity to focus on topics that interest them and explore connections across fields. With the Focus Area, Graduates can enrich study of the arts with courses in literature, music and photography, or to understand American politics, they can take courses in political science, sociology and history.
