The underlying objective of this MA is not only to provide upper-level students with a sense of how the United States has evolved but more particularly to allow them to explore in greater detail areas in which they have a special interest. As such, both the overarching core courses and the more detailed optional modules allow the student to realise both a particular and a general knowledge of the United States within the conceptual framework of “how America is perceived”.
In more general terms, this MA will give students a keener and more informed knowledge of politics and society in the United States and how they impact on the world at large. We receive students from diverse backgrounds and our students return to many backgrounds. Some of course decide to pursue further study and we gave such students every encouragement to do so. |
