Program Specializations: individualized programs of study in socio-cultural studies, issues of race and gender, art and architecture, economics and business, folklore and literature. American Studies at UC Berkeley is a group major in which each student will have an individualized area of concentration. The goal of the program is to utilize the enormous and varied resources of the institution to teach students how to ask and answer scholarly questions, to formulate and undertake a focused interdisciplinary course of study, and to design and execute a substantial research project. Our American Studies program takes as its subject the cultures that have developed in what is now the United States, understanding "American culture" as the interplay of material practices and the realm of ideas. It considers technology, economy, urbanism, and ecology, as well as literature, political history, and the arts; it takes a particular interest in cultural hybridity, cultural layering, and in American culture exported abroad. The axes of investigation, as embodied in the core courses, are Space and Time.

Chair: Stephen A. Small
Degrees Awarded: BA, PhD (African Diaspora)
African American Studies has become an interdisciplinary field that focuses on race as a social construction. Our department has led the field with its emphasis on the African Diaspora and the cultures, patterns of social organization, political economies, life conditions, etc. of various African-based societies and communities in the Caribbean, Latin America, the United States, Europe, and other areas of the world. In addition to the development of African American Studies as a coherent and innovative discipline, departmental efforts are focused on fundamental reformulations of the theories, frameworks and methods employed for understanding race and ethnicity.
The Ph.D. program is the culmination of the department's renewed focus on the close to one billion people of African descent scattered across several regions of the world. Such a focus is reflected in changes we have made in our undergraduate curriculum. It emerges out of a conviction that a sound understanding of the realities of the life and culture of persons of African descent in the United States cannot but take into account the legacies of colonialism, enslavement, the plantation, and migration. Nor can such understandings ignore the development of ideologies of supremacy rooted in notions of race that emerged within the context of colonialism and slavery. The focus on Africa and the African Diaspora allows the use of comparative frameworks for the understanding of the specific realities of persons of African descent wherever they may find themselves.

The Ethnic Studies majors at Cal provide a core curriculum designed to develop a comparative and multidisciplinary understanding of the experiences and communities of African Americans, Asian Americans, Chicanos and Native Americans. Ethnic Studies majors study the history, culture, politics, and sociology of Third World communities in the United States within the general context of American society and institutions. Thus, they pursue knowledge vital for a critical understanding of contemporary society and for social change to improve the lives and communities of racial minorities. The student majoring in ethnic studies works closely with an academic advisor and selects an area of emphasis, such as social sciences, humanities, community studies, or special areas.
The Comparative Ethnic Studies Ph.D. Program focuses on the historical and sociocultural study of the core groups racialized in United States history: African-Americans, Asian Americans, Chicanos and Latinos, and Native Americans. Transdisciplinary in approach, it encourages students to adopt a broad range of theories and methods to analyze the construction of these racialized ethnocultural groups in relation to each other, in the EuroAmerican context, and in a transnational context.

American Studies offers an alternative approach to the study of American experience
for students who feel too limited by departmental approaches. Lower division,
introductory classes explore the ways in which cultural systems shape and reflect
life in the United States. These classes pay close attention to the ways in
which differences of class, race, gender, generation, ethnicity, religion, and
sexual orientation unevenly affect American lives. American Studies majors take
seven upper division, in-depth classes and seminars devoted to close study of
major thinkers and of issues crucial to the practice of American Studies. Advanced
work in at least two other departments or programs allows each student to emphasize
a period, a problem, or a subject tailored to his or her own individual education
goals. Students have the option of writing a senior thesis within this emphasis.
As an interdisciplinary program, American Studies provides a good liberal arts
and
sciences undergraduate education. American Studies maximizes a student's contact
with a variety of subject matter and approaches. Graduates have moved into a
broad range of career settings, including journalism, law, medicine, nursing,
law enforcement, teaching, environmental planning, library science, museum curatorship,
and business. Some students discover new career possibilities through their
internships in American institutions.

African-American & African Studies is an interdisciplinary field of study in the humanities, arts, and social sciences. Scholars investigate the history and culture of African-descent peoples, exploring both the ways in which African-descent experience is configured by social, political, and economic factors, and the aesthetic dimensions of the experience as expressed in the arts and literature. Our curriculum emphasizes courses on the African-American experience in the U.S.A., and the African diasporic experience. Students are expected to complete courses in the study of other ethnic cultures as part of their general graduation requirements.
Students may apply for financial support for innovative research projects undertaken under the guidance of individual instructors. Majors and minors are encouraged to take advantage of various internship programs on and off campus. Interns have been placed in state government office in Sacramento, the national office of the NAACP, and the National Art Gallery in Washington, D.C.

The Asian American Studies Program offers an interdisciplinary major that examines the experiences of various Asian American groups in the United States. Pertinent to these experiences are the historical, cultural, legal, political, social- psychological, class, and gender contexts for Asian Americans. Majors take a prescribed set of lower division and upper division courses in Asian American Studies. Other courses in the major provide the opportunity to develop a knowledge of Asian Americans from either a humanities or social science perspective. For the humanities emphasis, students take courses in an Asian language. They then can opt for a track on literature/culture or history/culture in upper division courses. For the social science emphasis, courses in social science methodology are required at the lower division level. While Asian language courses are not required for the social science emphasis, students are strongly encouraged to take such courses, because of the obvious pertinence of such courses to the major and because the College has a foreign language requirement. At the upper division level, majors with a social science emphasis can have an anthropological or sociological/psychological track.

Native American Studies focuses upon the indigenous peoples of North, Central, and South America. The program is interdisciplinary in its approach to the world of American Indians and offers a comprehensive and comparative perspective. Students electing a major in Native American Studies may complete Plan I, Plan II, or Plan III. Plan I enables students to concentrate chiefly upon the Native experience in North America (north of Mexico). Plan II encourages interested students to focus upon Meso-America with, however, some course work integrating Meso-America with North America and South America. Plan III focuses upon South America, with some course work integrating that region with areas to the north.
At the Master's level, we offer a course of study designed to prepare students for work in tribal administration and education, museums and cultural centers, community development, and public policy. The Master's program also prepares students to teach in the tribal colleges of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium or in other community colleges. It also prepares students for further study in Native American Studies or related fields.
At the Ph.D. level, we offer a course of study designed to train, strengthen and enlarge the critical mass of scholars working within the field of Native American Studies. Our graduates will be positioned to contribute to Native critical and creative intelligence in all its complexity. They will take their place as scholars within Native American Studies programs and relevant disciplines within social sciences and humanities.

Originally born during the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Afro-American Studies major was designed to fill a void that existed at UCLA in terms of scholarly and curricular material relevant to the African American experience. Students and faculty currently associated with the program see the major as meeting a number of academic, personal, and social needs.
The fundamental goal of the curriculum is to provide students with a comprehensive and multidisciplinary instruction to the crucial life experiences of African Americans. This goal is achieved in two primary ways. First, it provides an interdisciplinary exposure to particular features of the African American experience. Majors gain an in-depth understanding of the historical, anthropological, sociological, psychological, economic, and political aspects of African America. The curriculum also provides opportunities to study the literary, musical, and artistic heritage of peoples of African descent. Second, Students gain expertise in the concepts, theories, and methods of a traditional academic discipline. Majors are required to select an area of concentration in one of the following fields: anthropology, economics, English, history, philosophy, political science, psychology, or sociology. The Afro-American Studies minor is designed for students who with to augment their major program of study with a group of related courses from various disciplines germane to Afro-American studies. The minor exposes students to African American-related research and literature in a number of different disciplines, such as anthropology, economics, English, history, political science, and sociology.
The MA program in Afro-American Studies in interdepartmental, with formal support linkages to nine disciplinary departments: Anthropology, English, History, Linguistics, Music, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. Related courses are also offered in the following schools and departments: African Area Studies, Art, Dance, Economics, Education, Folklore and Mythology, Geography, Information Studies, Latin American Studies, Management, Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences, Public Health, Social Welfare, Theater, and World Arts and Cultures. The Afro-American Studies program and the School of Law offer a concurrent degree program whereby students may pursue the MA in Afro-American Studies and JD degrees at the same time. For admission, applicants are required to satisfy the regular admission requirements of both schools. Twelve units of law coursework may be double counted toward the MA degree.

Ethnic Studies is the study of the social, cultural, and historical forces that have shaped the development of America's diverse ethnic peoples over the last 500 years and which continue to shape our future. Focusing on immigration, slavery, and confinement, those three social processes that combined to create in the US a nation of nations, ethnic studies intensively examines the histories, languages, and cultures of America's racial and ethnic minority groups in and of themselves, in their relationships to each other, and particularly, in structural contexts of power.
The graduate program is an inter-disciplinary social science program specializing in analytic, comparative, and theoretical approaches to the study of ethnicity and race. It is a demanding, rigorous, and comprehensive graduate curriculum promoting expertise in analytic, comparative and interdisciplinary studies of race and ethnicity that will position graduates to play an important role in the field in the years ahead. It seeks to raise fundamental questions about the nature of knowledge, about the adequacy of existing scholarly conventions and paradigms, and about the relationships between the things studied and the tools used in our research. Ethnic Studies owes its existence to the development of interdisciplinary trends within disciplines (social history, new historicist literary studies, interpretive ethnography in anthropology, historical sociology, etc.) as well as to the growing dialogue across disciplines--especially within the humanities and social sciences. Our emphasis on studying ethnic groups in relation to one another and to broader social and cultural forces gives our research and our curriculum its distinctive identity. Our primary focus on race and ethnicity encourages us to engage with social theories about identity and power. In addition, while existing social science disciplines produce excellent work on ethnic issues, we offer an interdisciplinary setting where the primary emphasis is on theorizing race and ethnicity.

The undergraduate American Studies major is designed for students who wish to bring the perspective of several disciplines to an integrated study of the United States and its diverse peoples. Many students and faculty have been drawn to the program because of a concern with their own experiences as members of American society, with the historical resources of these experiences, and with their individual and collective responsibility for the American condition. The program aims at helping students gain a rich understanding of Americans from social and cultural backgrounds different from their own. It gives special attention to racial, ethnic, sexual, class, and regional dynamics in the nation's past and present, and also to trans-national and global perspectives on the United States. The program hosts annually about a dozen foreign students studying on campus under the University of California Education Abroad Program.
The undergraduate major requires 12 introductory and advanced courses, including several methodologically oriented foundation courses and courses focusing on ethnic minority experiences and on transnational perspectives. In addition, all majors must complete a senior thesis based on original research. This program also offers a minor to students in several campus Ph.D. programs.
American Studies Faculty
The program is governed by eight core faculty who hold appointments in American Studies; in addition, the program draws on thirty-nine affiliated faculty from a variety of other campus departments, including anthropology, art history, community studies, film and video, history, history of consciousness, literature, music, philosophy, politics, psychology, sociology, theater arts, and women's studies.

The Latin American and Latino Studies department prepares students for bilingual and bicultural participation in a rapidly changing world. LALS integrates the study of Chicano and Latino communities in the United States with analysis of the histories, politics, cultures, and societies of Latin America and the Caribbean.
Both Latin America and US Latino communities are being transformed by globalization, at the same time as deep historical legacies continue to be very present. LALS courses deal with changing political, social, economic and cultural realities, including immigration and transnational communities; gender, racial and ethnic identities; social movements; diverse forms of cultural expression; ongoing political and economic restructuring in Latin America; and the challenges of political and economic empowerment for Latino communities in the US We draw from interdisciplinary perspectives to understand these processes, including both the social sciences and the humanities.
In addition to academic knowledge, LALS also provides opportunities for students to acquire practical, "real-world" skills. Through program-related internship and field study experiences, students can acquire useful, pre-professional skills in any of the following key areas: public policy, community development/advocacy, education, journalism, media, performance, and research/writing (among others).
Graduates of the LALS major have made careers in a wide variety of fields, including teaching, community organizing, community and government service, journalism and the media, environmental science, global economics, health care, legal services, library science, music, nonprofit work, publishing, and research. Many have gone on to pursue advanced degrees in the United States or abroad in anthropology, bilingual education, communications, ecology, economics, geography, history, law, literature, public health and sociology- to name a few.

American studies is a multidisciplinary major that examines the American experience in all its rich diversity. It includes the study of American history, literature, and arts and the country’s social, economic, political, and philosophical development. As an interdisciplinary major, it crosses the boundaries of several disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, yet depends on the subject matter, insights, and techniques from those disciplines to help students understand the complex social, political, and cultural American experience.
American Studies offers students, in consultation with an adviser, the opportunity to design an individual course of study which is clearly coordinated with their future plans. The major requires 24 units of core courses in American literature, history, and cultural study. The core courses are followed by 12 units, chosen by the student, for in-depth study of themes, areas, or aspects of American culture.
Because of the multidisciplinary character of American Studies, most students easily complete a least one minor in one of the allied disciplines, and many graduate with a double major. For example, previous students have double-majored in history or political science or have minored in English, history, or anthropology. Students also use electives to pick up courses in communications, computer science, and business. Upper-division majors have the opportunity of gaining on-the-job experience by applying for internships in such fields as journalism, radio and television, historical research, and public relations. This flexibility is one of the advantages of American Studies. The goals and career plans of our students are diverse.

The Department of Ethnic Studies is central to the university's commitment "to educational excellence for a diverse society." It offers a major, minors, and courses that are interdisciplinary in nature and provide a holistic approach to the study of the United States' multi-racial, multicultural, and multigender immigrant society. The department's faculty provide areas of study that integrate social science and literary theory, as well as anthropological and sociological concepts within a historical and humanistic perspective. The underlying goal of Ethnic Studies is to provide a better understanding of diversity in American culture and thought.
The Ethnic Studies major consists of a core of Ethnic Studies courses, support courses in other departments in the university, and Options in African American, Asian American, Mexican American/Latino, and Native American Studies. The curriculum is multidisciplinary as well as interdisciplinary. The major helps the student qualify for graduate work in social sciences, law, and humanities, and for work in municipal, state, and federal government. Of equal importance are the advantages the major provides to work in community service organizations concerned with opportunities and problems of various ethnic and racial groups.

Degrees Awarded: BA, Minor
The NAS Program consists of two degree goals at HSU. The first goal is a minor in NAS. The minor requires that a student take 15 units of approved classes for completion. The minor degree of study will help a student better understand Native Americans from the perspective of their own major of study. The second goal of study is the major in NAS. The major requires a student to take 3 introductory classes and then to complete other areas as seen fit by the student or counselor or both which will better help them fulfill their goal. Students in the program will go on to study such careers as Indian education, counseling, cultural resources management, or natural resources management.

The Program in American Studies undertakes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of American culture. Administered by a committee of faculty from various departments, the program offers a major leading to the bachelor’s degree and a minor. Its curriculum draws upon a variety of courses offered by the affiliated departments on a wide range of subjects. Most students majoring or minoring in American Studies are interested in both (1) studying American culture as a whole from several disciplinary perspectives and (2) studying in depth a specific problem or theme. Reflecting these two interests, the major consists of a sequence of five core courses and an elective pattern including no more than two courses from any one academic department and centering on a particular theme or topic selected by each student in consultation with an adviser. In addition to offering a broad liberal education focusing on American culture, traditions, and institutions, the program also provides a strong foundation for graduate work in American Studies and related fields.

Degrees Awarded: BA (Asian American Track), Minor in Asian American Studies
AAAS enables students to explore Asian civilizations from an interdisciplinary perspective. The department encourages students to integrate the study of Asian peoples across the Pacific with that of Asian American communities in the United States. It also enables students to explore the Asian American experience, cultures and issues. The study of Asian cultures and societies is combined with appropriate language studies and training.
Through academic offerings of its own and those of some dozen cooperating departments, the Department of Asian and Asian American Studies offers the B.A. and MA degrees in Asian Studies, a BA and Single Subject Teaching Credential in Japanese, and a minor in Asian American Studies. Students seeking a Bachelor of Arts in Asian Studies can choose between an "Area studies" option and an "Asian American studies" track. The first track emphasizes a social science or humanities-based exploration of two Asian civilizations (Chinese, Japanese, South Asian or Southeast Asian). The second track combines the study of Asian Americans as an ethnic minority with supporting investigation of their countries of origin. The Bachelor of Arts in Japanese is designed to provide students with linguistic and cultural preparation, supported by international perspectives and understanding of humanities for effective intercultural communication.

Ethnic Studies programs in United States colleges and universities have origins in the social revolution of the 1960s. Students and community activists legitimately assailed educational institutions across the land for ignoring ethnic participation in American history. Because of their efforts, campuses throughout the country began establishing ethnic and women's studies programs. In Spring 1969, CSULB Chicano students pressed for and succeeded in establishing a Mexican American Studies Department, one of the first in the nation, on our campus. That summer, students, professors, and community activists gathered to develop the program's curriculum. Among the department s many accomplishments were its new major program, its innovative service courses for traditional disciplines, and its participation in the development of bilingual education programs.

Degrees Awarded: BA (African American Studies)
The degree program in African American Studies at California State University, Northridge, one of the oldest and most stable in the country, emerged out of the social turmoil and student unrest in the sixties. As its curricular focus became strongly interdisciplinary over the years, the department has moved to consolidate its strengths in the following subject fields: African American History and Culture, Literature and the Arts of the African Diaspora, Psychology and Sociology of the African-American, Black Political institutions and Public Policy, and Religion.
In more general terms, the discipline is committed to the preservation of a Pan African history, culture, arts and values for peoples of African descent through research, publication, performances, and a variety of educational and cultural programs both on-campus and in the community.
Our expectations for graduates with a B.A. in African American Studies include strong leadership skills, strong writing and leadership skills, strong writing and critical reasoning skills, career readiness, and a commitment to the transformation of American educational institutions into those that truly reflect the rich diversity of the country as a whole.
