How could the same country elect Obama and Trump? Why is American culture as creative and dynamic as it is? How can Americans be so proud of their diversity, but also conflicted about it? Sounds interesting? Then American Studies is perfect for you!
The American Studies specialization within the Bachelor's degree program in English Language and Culture at Radboud University sets itself apart by its interdisciplinary approach and the breadth of topics that it covers. It offers a rich combination of perspectives for exploring of American society, arts and politics, as well as the English language. It requires students to rise to the challenge of becoming experts in US society and culture and of mastering English at a professional level. At the same time, it demands of students a willingness and ability to alternate registers, frameworks and cognitive methods as they shift from analyzing political history to American English phonetics to literature to media. Along the way, the program combines the transmission of a solid, classic foundation in American Studies, with attention to some of the most exciting current developments in politics, media, literary arts, and linguistic issues whose impact extends far beyond America's border.
