American Studies Institute Programs

The U.S. Consulate General in Jerusalem announces The 2010 Study of the United States Institutes Summer Programs

SUSI programs for University-Level and Faculty members

The six institute programs are intensive post-graduate level academic programs with integrated study tours whose purpose is to provide foreign university faculty and other scholars the opportunity to deepen their understanding of American society, culture and institutions. The ultimate goal is to strengthen curricula and to improve the quality of teaching about the United States in academic institutions abroad. The topics of the six programs are:
  • American Civilization
  • American Politics and Political Thought
  • Contemporary American Literature
  • U.S. Foreign Policy
  • Journalism and Media
  • Religious Pluralism

SUSI programs for Secondary School Educators

The institute programs are an opportunity for secondary school teachers, teacher trainers, curriculum developers, textbook writers, and other educational professionals to attend a six-week post-graduate seminar in the United States.

All of the institute programs will be held this summer at different U.S. universities and colleges over the course of six weeks beginning in mid June 2009.

All of the institute programs require excellent proficiency in English and outstanding qualifications, as these programs are extremely competitive.
