American Studies

About

Overview At the American Studies program at the Evergreen State College you'll prepare for professional work or graduate study by learning how to interpret evidence, create narratives about human experience, and develop sound arguments. You'll learn how historical knowledge is formed by creating it yourself, learning how to do historical research and interpreting what you encounter. You'll learn how to understand secondary sources, research archival materials, practice oral history methods, and shed light on the human experience by honing all these skills.The analytical, research, and writing skills developed by studying history provide strong preparation for many fields, both in history and related disciplines such as classics and archaeology, European studies, American studies, law, and creative writing.How to Choose Your PathYou’ll choose what you study to earn a Bachelor’s degree that’s meaningful to you. Some students decide their programs as they go, while others chart their course in advance.Aim for both breadth and depth; explore fields that may be related or that may seem very distant. You'll be surprised at what you discover.If you're new to college, look for programs where you can gain a foundation, build key skills, and broaden your knowledge (FR only, FR-SO, or FR-SR).If you already have a foundation in this field, look for programs with intermediate or advanced material (SO-SR, JR-SR, or FR-SR). These programs may include community-based learning and in-depth research. Some of these programs have specific prerequisites; check the description for details.
