The Walt Whitman Program in American Studies is an interdisciplinary undergraduate minor consisting of a concentration of six courses (18 credits) that illuminate diverse aspects of American culture. The minor combines coursework in American studies with courses from relevant disciplines (literature, history, arts and material culture, and the social or behavioral sciences), giving students the opportunity to examine American experience from a variety of perspectives.
