INTEGRATED STUDIES American Studies explores the many facets of American culture. The purpose of this program is to offer students a broader under- standing of the unique quality of the Ameri- can experience and to prepare them for career opportunities in museum work, research, teaching, and to some extent, for general busi- ness positions as well as graduate study in the field. General Studies allows the student to ex- plore a variety of different fields and to struc- ture a program specifically tailored to her individual needs and interests. Such a program of study makes the entire curriculum available to the individual student. This program pro- vides the kind of background helpful in busi- ness careers and may serve to indicate the student ' s choice of future graduate study. Dr. Anthony M. Camele Director of General Studies Dr. Louise S. Brown Integrated Studies Chairman Miss Gordon Q. Freeman American Studies Chairman 26
