Established in 1967, the American Studies program at Michigan State University offers the opportunity to examine American culture in all its diversity from an interdisciplinary perspective. We encourage our students to combine disciplines by drawing upon the resources of the entire university and using methods from literacy, historical and cultural studies, as well as sociology and political science. Because of the program's flexibility, students may pursue their intellectual interests in areas as diverse as history, women’s studies, ethnomusicology, film studies, literature, ethnic studies, material culture, television, and visual arts. Concentrations in popular culture, global and cultural studies, and entertainment studies are available.
