Combining the study of history with literature, the arts, and the social sciences, American Studies and Ethnicity seeks to bring together these various disciplines and modes of inquiry in a common project: the effort to understand the diverse peoples and cultures that have composed the United States and to provide critical perspectives on the words, deeds, myths, and material practices that have shaped this country in its full regional, ethnic, class, and gender diversity. An education in American Studies and Ethnicity will be particularly appropriate for students interested in pursuing careers in law, journalism, government, foreign service, social work, international business, public administration, and education.<\/p>\n<h3>Program Major Requirements<\/h3>\n<p>Ten courses in American Studies and Ethnicity or courses certified for American Studies and Ethnicity credit are required. The 10 courses must be distributed as follows: the three core requirement courses of AMST \u00a0200, AMST \u00a0350, and ASMT \u00a0498; one course from each of the following three lists: <em>History, Literature and Culture<\/em>, and <em>Social and Political Issues<\/em>; and additional elective courses for a total of 16 units chosen from the courses certified in American Studies and Ethnicity at the 300 level or above.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" height=\"30\"><strong>Core requirements<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"15%;\"
