American Studies – (M.Sc.)

The MA Program in American studies offers an inter- and trans-disciplinary study of American culture and society in a transcultural and transnational perspective, emphasizing Euro/Romanian-U.S. relations and the context of globalization. The program benefits from the expertise of scholars and teaching staff who have carried out research or specializations in the United States and who are based in a range of Faculties (Foreign Languages, History, Political Science, Journalism), in The University of Economic Sciences or in specialized institutes (The International Center for Contemporary Art). Courses on the following themes are offered within the framework of the program: Theories, Strategies and Practices in American Studies; Cultural Translation; History, Politics and Systems of Government; Society, Difference and Diversity; Media Communication; The American Culture of the Image; Euro-American Relations. In addition, there is a "Fulbright Seminar", held by U.S. scholars. Common core courses are also offered in collaboration with the M.A in British Studies and the M.A. in Canadian Studies: Cultural Anthropology; Recharting Cultural Space; Discourse and the Public Sphere; Area Studies; Business Communication.

Moreover, the program includes a 2-4 week internship in institutions that constitute future possible employers. It also offers the possibility of partial study in U.S. institutions with which the Center for American Studies has signed agreements: Arizona State University, Phoenix and Emporia State University, Kansas.
