Bachelor Of Arts In Interdisciplinary Studies


American Studies Concentration The American Studies degree is a special, dynamic interdisciplinary program designed to give students a critical understanding of American society and culture. Through select courses in American history, American literature, and political science (as well as other key courses such as Sociology of Social Problems, the History of Christianity in America, and Christianity and Media), the American Studies major gains valuable theoretic and practical knowledge concerning how Americans think and act. Such preparation affords the major a wide variety of career and graduate school paths, ranging from politics and law to non-profit and advocacy work. Our interdisciplinary program’s overarching focus on urban ministries further enhances the student’s preparation along these lines as does our emphasis on becoming “integrators for Christ.” Here, we take the popular notion of “community development” to the next step: that is, we link any attempt to improve society to the hope and healing found only in Christ.


Though some of the courses for the American Studies major are mandatory, there is still room for individualized focus. We also offer the opportunity for experiential learning through the “Best Semester Program” in Washington, D.C. as well as through the multiple city-based projects (based in Greenville and in Atlanta) already implemented within the IDS Program per se. In the latter case, we give our majors important practical experience in such things as community mapping and oral narrative, practices at the cutting edge of current attempts to identify our societal needs and cultural resources.


For further details about the Interdisciplinary Studies major per se, see the entry in the catalog and the NGU website.
