American Studies Modules

Modules in the BA and MA programs are designed to achieve specific learning goals, they entail a specific amount and specific types of coursework and examinations, and they may have prerequisites. To learn more about these, we strongly encourage you to have a look at our program’s Module Catalog and at the appendix to our Conditions of Study (see the Downloads and Documents page).
