MA in American Studies

Trinity’s longstanding Master’s program in American Studies provides an advanced interdisciplinary understanding of the field and its research methods. Built on its distinguished faculty's interests, the program engages students in hands-on archival, spatial, public humanities, and transnational approaches.

Across graduate programs, we offer a range of flexible options designed to accommodate busy schedules and ensure timely degree completion. Students can enroll as either part-time or full-time students. We map out the possible trajectories so you can sequence your courses and complete your degree. Your adviser will work with you to plan a pathway that’s tailored to your needs.

We’re a preeminent New England liberal arts college, but you’ll find us in an urban setting. We’re nearly 200 years old, but we provide an education that is both relevant and timeless. We were founded in the Episcopal tradition, but we’re rooted in principles of religious and academic freedom.

At Trinity College, we believe in transcending boundaries. Defying standard definitions. Staying true to ourselves and going our own way. We want you to do the same. This is where liberal arts meets the real world. If you want to become an engineer and minor in art, you can do that here. You can chase a career in politics and also cultivate a love of biology. Our mission is to help you pursue whatever path you choose and ensure that you gain real-world experience along the way.
