US Studies fosters understanding of the ideas, cultures, art, institutions, aspirations, and realities that have played an important role in the development of American society and public life. Particular attention is paid to core ideas of American citizenship and to the ways in which institutions have facilitated and constrained efforts by marginalized groups to achieve full citizenship. U.S. Studies is therefore both an appreciation and a critique. It captures the utopian impulse in the American narrative, its far-reaching and inspiring vision, and its many successes including the achievement of a revelatory ironic and self-critical literature. It also examines ideas of nationhood that transcend national boundaries and forms of nationalist ideology that have produced anti-nationalist dissent. The courses offered in the program examine the formation of historical, philosophical, religious, social, artistic and political traditions that shape American political thought, institutions, culture and literature. Students can choose among four disciplinary tracks with the overall US Studies major: American History, American Literature, Political Science, and Public Policy.
