The Certificate in American Studies has been designed to complement students’ disciplinary training, expose them to interdisciplinary trends in the academy, and broaden their career possibilities. The American Studies Certificate provides graduate students with training across an array of American Studies disciplines as well as training in interdisciplinary methodology. It teaches students to do innovative and original research as well as to produce scholarship that can reach outside the boundaries of the University and make a contribution to the communities in which they work and live. The Certificate provides students with a valuable professional credential and strengthens their ability to compete for jobs as well as national fellowships and postdoctoral awards
The Certificate in American Studies is open to any student enrolled in graduate study at Vanderbilt University.
