<p>Does anyone know how vandy ranks in their American studies program. I heard that it is one of the better ones in the country but wanted to see if anyone knew first hand.</p>
<p>…or not?</p>

<p>American studies is an interdisciplinary major, meaning you take courses from different departments to complete the major. So it’s kind of difficult to rank just that program. Vanderbilt’s college of arts and science has a good reputation and is highly ranked, and there are some great professors in every department.</p>
<p>i’m not aware of any ranking of that major…and if there were such a system it couldn’t possibly be complete. you are right that it is fairly renowned especially in that field, quite a few of the professors that teach in it are nearly revered by peers.</p>
