The Joint Program in English and American Studies
The Joint Program in English and American Studies offers students pursuing a Master’s in English Literature or Language & Literacy at CCNY the opportunity to spend a semester abroad at one of the five partner institutions (the University of Graz, Austria; the University of Pécs, Hungary; the University of Bamberg, Germany; the Ca’Foscari University of Venice, Italy; and the University of Paris-Denis Diderot, France) as part of their coursework.
