NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY

Since its inception in 1974, the program has drawn upon the expertise and guidance of dedicated instructors while allowing students the freedom to shape their course of study, culminating in their senior research project. In this way, the American Studies major successfully combines the advantages of a small and individualized program with the broad resources of a leading university. Among its other distinctive qualities are intellectually challenging seminars, a close working relationship between students and faculty, a strong focus on the development of the skills of analysis and expression, and an opportunity for every student to do a year-long independent research project.
