For over fifty years, the Department of American Studies
has provided graduate students at the University of New Mexico with
a unique opportunity for pursuing interdisciplinary studies. The
Department currently offers the only Ph.D. in American Studies in
the Rocky Mountain region and one of the largest and most diverse
programs in the country.
The graduate program in American Studies is designed to familiarize
students with a wide range of scholarship as a basis for their pursuit
of specific programs of study. American Studies graduates have pursued
careers in academia, public policy, secondary education and cultural
institutions in the arts, social sciences and government. The department
encourages students to develop programs of study that creatively
combine resources of multiple colleges and departments at UNM.
Small classes, engaged faculty, and a truly diverse and interesting
community of scholars make the American Studies department intellectually
exciting and conceptually rigorous.
