MINOR PROGRAM
The Minor Program in American Culture and Literature takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study
of the United States, its people, and its culture. The program allows students from any academic background
to explore the main themes and ideas of American literature, film, theater, poetry, and history. Such ideas
include gender, race, ethnicity, and other forms of identity. Moreover, the program will allow students to
increase their fluency in English, as courses emphasize developing their reading, writing, and analytical skills.
At the end, students should have a much better understanding of what the term "American" means, as courses and
instructors seek to replace a superficial understanding of America with a deeper, more layered, and more nuanced
understanding.
Prerequisite Courses:
