US Studies
Through critical analysis of American politics, foreign policy, business, law, media, culture and society, studying with the US Studies Centre provides students with an international perspective on what the United States is becoming in the 21st century.
The United States Studies Centre offers Australia's first Postgraduate coursework program in US Studies.
In 2009 the Centre introduced its first Undergraduate unit of study, US in the World (USSC2601) taught by USSC CEO Professor Geoffrey Garrett. In 2010 the Centre will also offer another undergraduate unit of study, USSC2602 - Introduction to US Politics, taught by Associate Professor Brendon O'Connor.
US Studies is more than just a degree. Students are an integral part of the United States Studies Centre, which aims to be at the forefront of the debate on the global role of the US in politics, business and culture.
US Studies students have unprecedented access to academic and professional networks with distinguished scholars, policy makers, and business leaders through the Centre's many events and research.
The US Studies Centre provides a high level duty of care for its students, fostering a close-knit group of classmates and future colleagues.
Our students, from Australia and around the world, will be well-suited for a wide variety of careers in government, business, media, and education, drawing upon the breadth and depth of their essential knowledge on the US and its global role.
