American Studies Program
Founded in 1969, the American Studies Program at Georgetown University is among the oldest undergraduate American Studies programs in the country. The program employs an interdisciplinary approach in which students are encouraged to make connections between diverse fields relating to American Studies, including history, literature, political science, economics, philosophy, sociology, theology and the fine arts.
American Studies students get a feel for life during the Civil War on a field trip to Cedar Creek, VA. The visit to the historic battlefield featured re-enactments and living history. Here the group gets a lesson on Civil War weaponry from a member of the 14th Tennessee Division.
