CLASS 2024 American Studies

American Studies examines the breadth and diversity of the American experience. It is an interdisciplinary field that integrates the study of history, literature, popular culture, media, geography, politics, art, and religion in order to analyze critically American society, culture, institutions, and intellectual traditions. Students and faculty in American Studies question what constitutes American culture, and how cultural expressions reflect and reveal American values, beliefs, prejudices, pleasures, and perceptions.

American Studies courses are methodologically grounded in many different areas of cultural studies including media studies, material culture, visual literacy, critical race theory, and gender/sexuality studies. Students are expected to gain competency in American cultural studies by mastering the theoretical and intellectual frameworks of their concentrations and by learning to interpret and analyze primary documents.

Students in history, communication, anthropology, political science, sociology, English and interdisciplinary programs such as Women's and Gender Studies, African and Black Diaspora Studies, and LGBTQ Studies find it beneficial to double major or minor in American Studies. Students who pursue Americans Studies are well prepared for graduate work in the humanities as well as professional training in law, business, and other fields. Most of our graduates go on to pursue post-graduate degrees.

College Core Requirements

Study in the Major Field

The student’s course of study in the College consists of three parts: Liberal Studies, the major field, and electives. Together these three parts contribute to the liberal education of the student which is the common purpose of all study in the College. By “liberal education” the College understands not only a deep and thorough knowledge of a particular area of study but a knowledge of the diverse areas of study represented by criticism, history, the arts, the behavioral  and social sciences, philosophy, religious studies, the natural science, and mathematics. 

The major field program generally is built upon a set of core courses and a specialized “concentration.” The number of courses required for a major varies by department. Most students go beyond the minimum requirements, electing additional courses which both broaden and deepen their understanding of their chosen discipline. 

Because no academic major program is built in isolation, students are required to pursue a number of electives of the student’s choice. The inherent flexibility of this curriculum demands that the student consult an academic advisor at each stage in the total program and at least once prior to each registration.

Students will be prompted to visit the College Office for their official graduation check early in their senior year.

Declaration of Major, Minor and Concentration

All students in the College are required to declare a major field prior to beginning their junior year. The student will then be assigned a faculty advisor in the major field department or program and should make an appointment to see that advisor at his or her earliest convenience. 

Students must declare or change majors, minors, and concentrations, via Campus Connection. However, for the purpose of exploring the possibility of changing a major field, the student should consult an academic advisor in the Office for Academic Advising Support.

The Modern Language Requirement (MLR)  

All students will be required to demonstrate competence in a modern language (i.e., a language other than English) equivalent to the proficiency attained from one year of college-level language study. This Modern Language Requirement (MLR) may be demonstrated by:

  • placing into 104 or above on the DePaul language placement exam
  • completing the last course or earning AP/IB credit for the last course in the first-year college sequence of any language (e.g. 103 for DePaul language classes)
  • completing a college course or earning AP/IB credit for a college course beyond the first-year level in any language (e.g. 104 or above for DePaul language classes)
  • completing the final course of a four-year sequence of the same modern language in high school*
  • completing a proctored exam by BYU and passing the exam (see the Department of Modern Languages website for registration details)
  • completing a proctored Written Proficiency Test (WPT) by Language Testing International (LTI) and achieving a score of Beginner High or above (see the Department of Modern Languages website for registration details)

*Students are strongly encouraged to take the DePaul language placement exam even if they have met the MLR via study of a language in high school. This will ensure continuation of language study at the proper level.

Please note: Modern Languages courses with an E-designation are taught in English and may not be applied to the Modern Language Requirement.

Students who complete an Inter-College Transfer (ICT) to the College will abide by the MLR in place on the effective date of the ICT, regardless of when they first matriculated at DePaul.

Students who have met the MLR and wish to pursue further work in the language may elect the “Modern Language Option” (see below).

The Modern Language Option (MLO)

The Modern Language Option is available to all BA students who wish to study a modern language beyond the level required by their College, and to all other undergraduate students without a modern language requirement who wish to study a language at any level. 

Students selecting the MLO may substitute a sequence of three courses in the same language for three domain courses. 

The three MLO substitutions must be made in three different domains, and any substitutions must be consistent with the principle that students complete at least one course in each learning domain.

MLO substitutions may not be used to replace requirements in the Math & Computing, and Scientific Inquiry, domains. ​

Students majoring in one modern language may use the Modern Language Option for study of a second language at the Intermediate level or above.

Modern Languages courses with an E-designation are taught in English and may not be applied to the Modern Language Option.

NOTE: Please contact your college/school regarding additional information and restrictions about the Modern Language Option.

External Credit and Residency

A student who has been admitted to the College begins residency within the college as of the first day of classes of the term in which the student is registered. Students in residence, whether attending on a full-time or part-time basis, may not take courses away from DePaul University without the written permission of the college. Permission must be obtained in advance of registration to avoid loss of credit or residency in the college; see the LAS website for more information.

Readiness for MAT 120 is determined by the math placement test taken online after admission. Students may need to take developmental coursework prior to MAT 120. Students who complete MAT 120 and both a Computational Reasoning course and a Statistical Reasoning course in the Math and Computing Learning Domain take one less Learning Domain course. Students may not apply the course reduction to any Domain where only one course is required, and cannot be applied to the Scientific Inquiry Learning Domain.  The MAT 120 requirement may be waived by passing a dedicated proficiency exam or it may be fulfilled by credit for advanced math coursework earned  in-residence at DePaul (MAT 135MAT 136MAT 147MAT 148MAT 149MAT 150MAT 151MAT 152 MAT 155MAT 156MAT 160MAT 161MAT 162 MAT 170MAT 171MAT 172, or equivalent) or earned externally either as transfer credit from another college/university or as test credit through AP, CLEP, IB, or International A and A/S Level exams. Calculus course(s) may be used to fulfill any of the three QR/MCD requirements.

A student majoring in American Studies (AMS) is required to complete the Capstone offered by the AMS Department. AMS 301 may be waived for Honors students who are producing an Honors capstone thesis project and double majors when AMS is a student's secondary major and the student completes a thesis project through a capstone in their primary major; in these cases AMS 301 must be replaced with a 300 level AMS course. Students seeking these exceptions must discuss with the AMS Program Director in advance.

Notes

A student majoring in American Studies (AMS) is required to complete the Capstone offered by the AMS Department. AMS 301 may be waived for Honors students who are producing an Honors capstone thesis project and double majors when AMS is a student's secondary major and the student completes a thesis project through a capstone in their primary major; in these cases AMS 301 must be replaced with a 300 level AMD course. Students seeking these exceptions must discuss with the AMS Program Director in advance.

Courses offered in the student's primary major cannot be taken to fulfill LSP Domain requirements. If students double major, LSP Domain courses or Honors courses may double count for both LSP and Honors credit, respectively, and the second major. Students who choose to take an experiential learning course offered by the major may count it either as a general elective or the Experiential Learning requirement.

In meeting learning domain requirements, no more than one course that is outside the student’s major and is cross-listed with a course within the student’s major, can be applied to count for LSP domain credit. This policy does not apply to those who are pursuing a double major (see above) or earning BFA or BM degrees.

Major Requirements

The American Studies major requires thirteen courses, detailed below.

  • Five (5) core courses form the foundation of the program. Ideally, majors should complete these prior to the start of their senior year.​
    1. Foundational course, Critical American Studies: AMS 201 (generally offered Winter quarter);
    2. Introduction to Historical Methods and Sources:  HST 298 (offered every quarter);
    3. U.S. history course (see first list below).
    4. Intersectional & Transnational Approaches course (from second list below)
    5. Additional Method/Theory course (from third list below). Ideally, this will be connected to the student’s concentration & selected in consultation with your Major Advisor.
  • One (1) American Studies Capstone course
    • AMS 301: ​During the fall quarter of their senior year, students should take AMS 301. Students will be sent instructions on how to prepare for the Senior Seminar by the Autumn Quarter instructor for the course. Students must earn a C- or better in this course. This course is waived for Honors students who are producing an Honors capstone thesis project and Double Majors when AMS is a student's secondary major AND the student completes a thesis project through a capstone course in their primary major; in these cases AMS 301 must be replaced with a 300-level AMS course. Students seeking these exceptions must discuss with the AMS Program Director in advance.​ 
  • Five (5) interdisciplinary courses are selected to form one of six (6) possible concentrations:
    • Popular Culture and Media Studies;
    • Standard Concentration
    • Social and Literary Movements;
    • Politics, Institutions and Values;
    • Comparative Race and Ethnic Studies; or
    • Material Culture and the Built Environment. 
      At least three of the concentration courses must be at the 300-level.​
  • Two (2) Major Elective courses are selected to complement one's work in American Studies.
    • In consultation with an advisor, students select two additional courses from outside the concentration.​ 

Distribution Requirements

  • For the concentration and the electives, no more than three courses for the major should be from any one department outside of AMS.
  • Also, from the combination of concentration courses AND elective courses at least three courses should carry an AMS designator.
  • At least three of the concentration courses should be at the 300-level.
  • In no instance may a course double count within the major; in other words, a course taken to fulfill the method or theory course requirement in the core may not also simultaneously fulfill credits within the concentration or electives, etc. Likewise, a course taken to fulfill the "Additional Method/Theory" requirement may not also simultaneously fill the "Intersectional & Transnational Approaches" requirement, etc. 
  • Courses offered in the student's primary major cannot be taken to fulfill LSP Domain or Honors requirements. If students double major or minor in AMS, LSP Domain courses may double count for both LSP credit and the second major or the minor.  Likewise, students in the Honors program may double-count Honors courses for the AMS double major or minor. To be eligible, these double-counted courses must be primarily U.S.-focused (have at least 50% U.S. content). If you are unsure whether a course may be eligible, please consult with the AMS Director. 

To fulfill the U.S. History requirement, one of the following may be taken (please note that these courses may NOT double count to fulfill any other AMS requirement):​
