American Studies Program (ASP)
Founded in 1976, the American Studies Program uses Washington, D.C., as a stimulating educational laboratory where students gain hands-on experience with internships tailored to fit their talents and aspirations.
Participants also explore pressing national and international issues in public policy seminars led by ASP faculty and Washington professionals.
Beginning in fall 2008, students will select between a Public Affairs or Marketplace track. Both tracks examine the same public issues and culminate in field projects assessing those issues in light of biblical principles and Christian responsibility.
Students in the Public Affairs track use policy concepts to evaluate contending approaches. Students in the Marketplace track analyze issues by assessing how business and commercial environments shape different perspectives.
The aim of the program is to help CCCU schools prepare students to live in contemporary society as followers of Christ.
