American Studies

American Studies at OSU-Tulsa offers systematic, theoretical and practical exposure to understanding American society and culture through multidisciplinary study. "American society" refers to the geographic region of the Americas from pre-colonial times to the contemporary period.

Students will develop a thorough understanding of culture—the shared system of beliefs, behaviors, symbols and material objects through which Americans give meaning to their lives. They will gain a rich understanding of social and cultural practices and beliefs that may differ from their own.

In addition to emphasizing liberal arts education, courses in the major develop skills in writing and analysis and help students recognize connections among diverse people and ideas. The best preparation for the program is to complete challenging high school courses that emphasize cultural awareness, critical thinking and writing.
