Overview

Key facts

The American Studies program at Goucher College is rigorous preparation for graduate school and for professional careers in a variety of fields, including journalism, communications, law, public service, business, planning, social work, teaching, publishing, historic preservation, and museum work.

Education

Students study history, literature, religion, music, art, folklore, and material culture, and specialize in themes such as immigration and America's education system.

Students delve into American history and society; American economic and political institutions; and the beliefs, values, codes of behavior, expressive arts, myths, and symbols that constitute American culture.

While gaining content-based knowledge, students develop analytical thinking and writing skills essential to many careers.
