As American Studies majors students focus on analyzing visual culture, media, social movements, and literature through the lens of American history and politics and their relationship with the world. Studying abroad gives American Studies students an opportunity to view American culture from the perspective of their host culture. This in turn gives students the ability to partake in cross cultural comparisons which may expand their critical thinking skills.<\/p>\n
