Graduate Studies in American Culture Studies

American Culture Studies sponsors work at the graduate level through two separate programs: the Graduate Certificate program, in cooperation with several Arts and Sciences departmental Ph.D. programs; and the Master of Arts program, in cooperation with University College. (Washington University does not offer a free-standing Ph.D. program in American Culture Studies.)

Students pursuing the Ph.D. in affiliated departments (such as Anthropology, Art History, Education, English, History, Music, and others) can obtain a Certificate in American Culture Studies upon graduation through a program of interdepartmental course work and advising. For complete information, see the Ph.D. page. Additional financial aid may be available for participants in the Certificate program; for complete information see the Harvey Fellowships page.

Through University College, WU's continuing-education division, AMCS maintains the M.A. program in American Culture Studies. For an introduction see the AMCS M.A. page; for full details, see the relevant pages of the University College website.
