Undergraduate Research
All American Studies majors complete a senior capstone project based on original research in primary sources and analysis of scholarly literature. Seniors learn to work collaboratively and ethically as cultural analysts over the course of a semester, culminating in a final scholarly paper.
Undergraduate students can also take advantage of Columbian College Dean’s Seminars on American Studies topics, when available. The highly popular courses have covered topics from “zombie capitalism” to Washington sex scandals.
