Program Summary

Program Description

Global Student Success Program (GSSP)

Queens College Global Student Success Program (GSSP) is a required first-year experience program designed by academic experts covering all aspects of a student's new living and learning environment in the United States. 

As a Queens College student from day one, they will enjoy the added benefits of smaller classes where they will receive more personalized attention, and access to academic advisors and tutoring as well as opportunities to connect with other international and American students.

American Studies fosters an interdisciplinary view of the United States and its hemispheric neighbors. Students explore historical, social, and artistic dimensions of the American experience. The program encourages students to design an individualized course of study.

American Studies majors become experienced researchers, trained to think critically and to work from many perspectives using a variety of primary sources. The field thus offers an excellent foundation for careers as historians, researchers, and curators; as writers and editors; and as librarians and archivists. Graduates often enter law, public service, public policy, social work, foundations, business, and teaching.
