Our students have fun doing their assignments at 😎😎!

These are samples of assignments from some of the courses we offer:
AMST 1090 What is America?
AMST 2096 Feminism in Egypt & the US - Broader Perspectives

Check out our other American Studies/Core Curriculum courses and our American Studies Minor in the AUC Catalog or email us for more details at [email protected]

We believe that learning should be fun too!😊

At CASAR, we do our best to give our students hands-on experiences of what they learned.
These are students of course AMST 2096 'Feminism in Egypt & the US: Broader Perspectives' ( a Global Studies Core Curriculum course & satisfies the American Studies Minor as well) on a field trip to hospital since this resonates with Theme 5 of the course which talks about women and healthcare systems in both countries. We are extremely thankful to Baheya for this incredibly valuable & interesting opportunity indeed.

Check out our Fall 2026 courses!
