Description The University of Essex has been a major teaching and research institution for American Studies since it was founded in 1962, thus our American Studies degrees are built upon over 40 years of expertise in the study of the region. At Essex, we recognize that as a discipline, American Studies has become increasingly relevant to comprehending not just the United States, but also world events more generally. These are crucial times for examining the United States as a national and a global phenomenon - and American Studies is designed to produce the critically and socially aware experts we will need in the coming years to study, analyse, and comment on this constantly evolving field
