NEW COLLEGE
AMERICAN STUDIES
The BA in American Studies within the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences enables students to look at the experiences of North Americans and their environment from a variety of historical and contemporary perspectives. Courses are grouped into four emphases: (1) American systems, dealing with political, economic, religious, and legal institutions; (2) American cultures, concentrating on systems of belief and their symbolic expression in literature, art, philosophy, and regional and popular cultures; (3) American lives, exploring the ways in which categories of race, ethnicity, class, and gender intersect with individual and community experience; and (4) writing, stressing critical writing skills and training students to pursue careers in which writing is a major activity. Students learn to think and write critically, to conduct research, and to appreciate the changing and diverse nature of American life.
