American Studies Certificate Program
The Certificate in American Studies is available to students matriculated in
Ph.D. programs at The Graduate Center. Students do not necessarily have to be
working towards the Certificate to take courses in the program. American Studies
at The Graduate Center give Americanists enrolled in Ph.D. programs the
opportunity to study outside their disciplines in American Studies Certificate
Program seminars specifically designed to move students across disciplinary and
chronological boundaries. The program also prepares Americanists at The Graduate
Center to teach and direct American Studies programs after graduation by giving
a solid grounding in the history, theory, and method of the discipline.
Requirements are an approved four-course sequence of seminars (81000
Introduction to American Studies: Histories and Methods; 81500 Themes in
American Culture; 82000 American Culture: Major Periods; and a course approved
by the program for American Studies credit), an examination in American Studies,
incorporated into the second preliminary examination, and a topic and
dissertation committee approved by the program. Information: <
