Course description
American Studies at the University of Regensburg dives deep into the rich tapestry of North American literatures and cultures. This program explores the multi-ethnic and multilingual diversity from the colonial era to today. It’s an interdisciplinary field, blending literary and cultural studies, linguistics, history, political science, cultural geography, visual culture studies, and material culture studies. The curriculum covers a wide range of representations and interpretations of 'America'—textual, visual, material, performative, and virtual.

The program also delves into the theory and practice of American studies. Students can choose American Studies as a BA subject, a second major, or a minor.

Advanced and profile modules offer in-depth exploration of specific content, theories,
