Bachelor of Arts in American Studies
As an American studies major, you'll engage with American culture, history, traditions and identity through an interdisciplinary lens.
You'll explore the experiences and values of the American people and consider how Americans have shaped and articulated their nation's character in art, film, music and other forms of cultural expression.
Our program encourages students to take courses in a wide variety of fields, ranging from religion and politics, to media and ethnic studies, to journalism and law. Many Brandeis students double major in American studies and some other discipline, such as history, politics or sociology.
Graduates of our program have gone on to work in law, communications, business, education, public policy and the entertainment industry.
