Overview

The American Studies major offered by Western New England University takes a broad, interdisciplinary approach to the meaning and nature of culture in the United States.

Literature is the core of the program, but you will position your literary study in a comparative analysis of visual media and history to supplement your understanding of the relationship between cultural expressions and their context in social, political, and economic change.

Key Features

Combining a specialization in American culture with emphasis on critical reading, writing, and thinking throughout the course of study offers you a unique perspective in the study of history through literature.

If you are interested in a career specifically focused on American literature or culture, you will be able to present yourself as a specialist in the field. Not only will you discover a more detailed understanding of the society, you will be able to consider the implications of past events in the shaping of the culture today.
