American Studies

About

Overview The American Studies program of Emory University follows the same structure of faculty advising and frame course training as the IDS major, except that AMST 201 Introduction to American Studies is required of all AMST majors. Several affiliated Emory faculty in departments outside the ILA are trained in American studies, reflecting the fact that AMST is a recognized subfield within interdisciplinary studies.IDS and AMST are the only majors at Emory University that allow students to structure their own program of study around a field of interest that they themselves define:faculty co-advisers help you identify course requirements unique to youcourses drawn from departments across Emorysolid training in writing and independent researchsenior project drawing on two or more disciplines you have studiedUndergraduate interdisciplinary study proceeds on the hypothesis that some, if not all, subjects require methodologies, evidence, or texts drawn from more than one discipline, if they are to be understood deeply. Four pillars structure each student's experience in the undergraduate programs of the ILA: an informed perspective on the history, interrelationship, and contested nature of disciplinary boundaries, specifically with reference to social structures and debates surrounding education and higher educationa focus on writing as a crucial dimension of fully engaged reading, understanding, and public scholarshipvibrant co-teaching as a model and embodiment of interdisciplinary inquiry and learning at the undergraduate levelpublic scholarship—understood as the dissemination or application of the research to a public that extends beyond the academic student-professor relationship, either to the broader Emory community or, beyond Emory, to publics in Atlanta or broader society I want to find another Bachelor Course

More specific than the IDS major, but following a similar structure, the American Studies program of Emory University helps students focus on interdisciplinary topics that are distinctive of the United States and broader Americas.
