The American Studies Program at Siena College provides an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the American experience. Students may select from courses in areas such as American history, literature, art history, theatre, music, sociology, philosophy, economics, film, religion, and political science to fulfill requirements in the major and minor. This interdisciplinary approach is introduced in AMST - 250. The American Dream  and capped by AMST - 451. American Studies Capstone . American Studies majors are eligible to pursue the initial teaching certificate in Social Studies, but they may not be able to complete their undergraduate work in eight semesters.
