Course Description
Course Profile
The American Studies Center is an interdisciplinary research and higher-education institution of the University of Warsaw. Its faculty members specialize in various fields of knowledge about the United States and the Western Hemisphere—culture, literature, arts, film, media, history, economy, politics, history of ideas, society, and law.
The American Studies Center has a full-time liberal arts undergraduate program in American Studies. The program lasts three years (or six semesters). All instruction is conducted in English by permanent, adjunct, and visiting faculty. Professors from Poland, the United States, and Mexico are among our permanent faculty.
The program covers both humanities and social sciences— the interdisciplinary field of cultural studies, history, political science, sociology, and literature. Cultural studies is the leading discipline in the program. Our American Studies program is one of the largest in Europe. It is unique thanks to its interdisciplinary approach to the United States. Significantly, English is our language of instruction, which helps to promote intercultural understanding and international exchange. We teach how to address the problems of the modern era—locally, regionally, and supra-regionally,” and help develop “skills most looked for by employers on today’s job market” (from the mission of the UW Institute of the Americas and Europe to which the ASC belongs).
The program includes obligatory courses that introduce students to five major disciplines and elective courses that expand their knowledge within individual disciplines, particularly knowledge relevant to their BA papers. Students also take courses on research methods in the humanities and social sciences as well as academic writing in English. Research grants allow our best students to travel for research purposes to American Studies libraries in Europe and the United States or to conduct empirical research there.
The current program of studies is available on the website of the American Studies Center.
