American Studies: A Variety of Perspectives on our Common Culture
The American Studies Certificate Program
The Certificate in American Studies is an interdisciplinary program bringing together the methods and insights of many departments to give the SFC student a complex, rich and sophisticated understanding of American culture as well as an understanding of the United States’ interactions with the larger world.
We are an extremely diverse community in one of the most lively and diverse cities in America.
