Master of Arts in American Studies

American Studies at New England College offers the opportunity for an interdisciplinary examination of American life and culture. Within broadly defined subject areas, students develop an area of concentration: a discipline, a period or problem based, and draw on appropriate resources for an integrated and personalized program of study. Because of the diverse nature of individual student programs, the American studies program emphasizes close personal faculty attention to each student s program of study. Each course strives to achieve an interdisciplinary integration of materials and approaches. Courses cover a broad range of subjects, time periods, and disciplines.
