Union College Courses with American Studies Approval:


The following courses, from twelve different departments, have American Studies approval to count towards the major, ID and minor. Descriptions of each course can be found under the respective departments that offer the course. Those marked with an asterisk (*) are American Studies approved courses that meet the race and ethnicity or gender requirement. Note that some American Studies approved courses require prerequisites, which can be found under the department course descriptions. New courses not listed may be granted American Studies approval as determined by the Program Director. All courses counted towards the major must have American Studies course approval.

Course Selection Guidelines: A student must meet with his or her American Studies academic advisor prior to registration. It should be noted that some courses, notably in English and Economics, require prerequisites, so a student needs to make plans early in his or her studies to complete these if he or she plans to take an upper-level course in these departments to complete his or her theme. A student must consult with the American Studies Program Director and the Registrar for approval of AP or IB credits for the major.
