The six course American Studies minor offers a course of study on what constitutes American culture and how cultural expressions reflect and reveal American values, beliefs and perceptions. For the four U.S. topics courses, LSP Domain or Honors courses may double count for both LSP or Honors credit, respectively, and the minor. To be eligible, these courses must be primarily U.S. focused (have at least 50% U.S. content).
