AMST 100 - Introduction to American Studies

1 unit(s)

An invitation to the open interdisciplinarity of American Studies, a socially-engaged area of inquiry that seeks to holistically understand the lives of people in—and in relation to—the US, both past and present, and critically work toward the creation of a just and livable nation, hemisphere, and world.

Either AMST 100 or AMST 102 or AMST 105 will satisfy the 100-level core requirement of the American Studies major. Topics vary with expertise of the faculty teaching the course.

Priority given to first-year students and sophomores.

Two 75-minute periods.

Not offered in 2025/26.
