Courses That Count for American Studies

Narrowing your options can be confusing when many courses have variable topics, not all are taught each term and—importantly—there are always offerings that may be approved although they are not listed in the catalog. Never fear! Here are lists of courses (current and past) that are both relevant and available. If you use these lists with the at-a-glance planning worksheet you can cut through most of the confusion.

You may seek out other courses that teach substantial North American content and/or relevant methodological skills. If they make sense for your program we can count them by petition. Most petitions are as easy as clicking below, printing the form, and bringing it to an advising session. (For more complex questions click here.)
