II AMST 250 INTERPRETING AMERICAN CULTURES
AMST 250: Interpreting American Cultures is course ideally suited to the interdisciplinary IS course requirement. We are therefore offering AMST 250 as an IS course. We have changed the description to encompass the ways this topics course is taught by core faculty.
American Studies Major
This addition, IIAMST 250 Interpreting American Cultures, will now become part of the
core requirements of the American Studies Major, strengthening the core of the major.
Core credits will now be 20 instead of 16. Credits in “Area courses” changes from 24 to
20 because students will select one course under American literature instead of two.
There is no change in the overall number of credits in the major.
AMST 250 Interpreting American Culture
This course will be replaced by II AMST 250 Interpreting American Cultures in
response to the call for courses for the ISP.
