AUB full-time faculty members are invited to submit proposals for funding to support development of an undergraduate course specifically related to American Studies. The funding aims to provide access to potential course material and/or cover travel costs for faculty to concentrate on researching and selecting the readings, activities, and course assignments necessary to create the syllabus for a new course that would count towards the American Studies (AMST) minor. Grantees agree to submit their course for approval by the Undergraduate Curriculum committee and General Education classification within one year, and to teach the approved course within three semesters.
