American
Studies (AS) is not your conventional bachelor's degree
program. But, then, we consider that a real plus. We've put together
a far sighted, interdepartmental exploration
of life in the Americas, right now, on the threshold of a new
century. Together students and faculty delve into the people,
cultures, behavior, languages, politics, art, literature, history
and geography of the Americas. We place special
emphasis on Detroit as
a culturally, ethnically and socio-economically diverse urban
center and international city.
