Colleges for American Studies?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Or Media Studies - which is my preferred choice but there seems to be very few colleges that have it. I'm looking for a small college (less than 3000 students) preferably in the Southwest or West Coast. I have a 3.79 UW GPA and 27 ACT (retaking in June). I am assistant editor for high school literary magazine, president of an animal club, have 5 years of text roleplaying under my belt, and I volunteer at an animal shelter.</p>

<p>Will be applying to:
Scripps College - definitely EDI
Pomona College
Trinity University
Southwestern University
Occidental College
Willamette University</p>

<p>Many schools that do not offer an American Studies major do offer classes that would typically be offered within the major. You might find that narrowing your search to just schools that offer that major is artificially limiting.</p>

<p>If that is the case, what other majors—besides History—might hold these classes? Honestly, I’m interested in culture rather than history though.</p>

<p>Anybody have safeties for me? I was considering HBU when I discovered the CLW requirement. Not a religious person at all.</p>
