All majors choose one of seven concentrations in order to focus their studies. Each concentration requires 12 hours of coursework (4 classes), some of which may be offered by departments other than American Studies. The seven concentrations are: American Cultural Studies, Gender, and Sexuality, Jazz Studies, Local and Global, Popular Culture, Race and Ethnicity, and Religions in America.

For IB students, a completion with an overall IB score of 24 or higher or a score of 4.0 or higher for each subject is required. Moreover, an ACT score of 21 is acceptable. For Unibroad applicants, the university's application fee will be waived. Please, bear in mind that this program isn’t offered for Russian and Azerbaijani citizens.
