American / United States Studies / Civilization:
This was a great major because it is interdisciplinary. I was able to take classes in many different subjects that really taught me a lot about how people think and how that has affected the American culture. In addition to standard American studies classes in history, political science, and literature, I took journalism, sociology, music and art classes that all contributed to my completion of the major. It was such a wide and varied selection of courses--I was never bored by discussing the same topics over and over. Even now, although my major has not been "useful" in the two years since I graduated--useful in the sense that I'm not working in a museum, for example--I definitely would choose to major in American studies again. Not many majors give you such a wide view of the changing culture that, forgive the cliche, has shaped our nation and it's people into what we are today. It's fascinating. |

Western European Studies:
My college called this major "Humanities" and it spanned literature, history, art, science, economics, architecture, etc. It gave me an overall understanding of Western European culture, and how it has created our society today.
I went on to do graduate work (English major) and this was a great foundation for understanding the context of the British literature I studied. I don't think this major would have gotten me a great job straight out of school, but as a foundation for further study, it was wonderful! I would do it again in a heart beat. |
