The American Studies Program accepts up to 45 students each year.   Students may apply to the American Studies Program after gaining admission to any University department.   Criteria for admission are a strong academic record and particular interest in the interdisciplinary work of the program.   Before applying for admission, students must take the core course, American Studies 201, preferably during their sophomore year, and achieve a satisfactory standing in the course.   Students generally apply in the spring of their sophomore year.   Applications are also accepted during the fall term from juniors and seniors who are enrolled in AMS 201.   Students from all departments of the University are encouraged to apply.  Please contact the AMS office, 42 McCosh Hall, or the Program Manager, Judith Ferszt, 258-6771 or email jferszt@princeton.edu, for an application form or additional information.
