Intro

The Center for American Studies was founded in 1992 to encourage research on the cultures, politics, literatures, and traditions of the United States.

The oldest and largest such center in Denmark, its creation was encouraged and supported by the Fulbright Commission.

The seven core faculty, all of whom have also taught at American universities, focus their research entirely on the United States, serving as a focal point for others with related interests on the several campuses of the University of Southern Denmark and in the rest of Denmark.

The Center holds frequent seminars and conferences for researchers, and it publishes books and articles in the field.. American Studies in Scandinavia, the official journal of the Nordic Association for American Studies, is published by the University Press..

The Center offers a "tilvalg" and an MA in conjunction with the Center for History, as well as a three-year Ph.D. for selected students.
