American/United States Studies/Civilization
The study of the United States and its pre-Columbian and colonial antecedents, as well as the impact of immigration from other cultures, is known as American/United States Studies/Civilization. A study of the United States contains elements of history, sociology, economics, geography, politics, and anthropology. American Studies, Anthropology, Culture and Race, Film Studies, History, Music, African American Poetry, The African Diaspora, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Urban Legends, Moral Panics, Philosophies of Liberation, Theater Studies, and Black Feminism are all subfields of the United States/American Studies/Civilization. Majoring in this area of study is a great idea for students interested in teaching, writing, journalism, urban planning, foreign affairs, politics, psychology, publishing, social work, and other related fields. Careers in American and United States Studies and Civilization include activists, children's rights advocates, cultural resources managers, employment equity officers, government agency employees, indigenous issues consultants, international aid workers, non-profit organization directors, political aid/advisors, public policy analysts, and social program managers.
