MA American Studies -worth anything?

Ok I have a dilemma.

I am eying 2 MA’s for application more then others, they are MA American History (Sussex) or MA American Studies (Kings)-which is a better qualification.

I spoke to some people and they say American Studies doesnt mean anything as its such a new area of academia.

But KCL is a major institution and the name may sell the applicant later in life to employers.

Settle this for me. :slight_smile:
