We offer American studies majors a variety of opportunities to conduct research and follow their own interests.
Some seniors accept the challenge to write honors theses: 80 to 100-page research papers based on research in primary sources. These are year-long projects developed in an honors seminar and supervised by individual professors.
Other students write individual studies, semester-long projects often based on research done abroad or in internships.
For American studies honors theses guidelines, visit the history department's honors thesis guidelines section.
