The Institute of American Studies, like the United
States itself, is undergoing tremendous change
brought on by new and exciting challenges of the
21st century. In line with emerging
global trends for what Fareed Zakaria has termed “the
Post-American World”, TKU founder and futurist
Dr. Clement Chang, has successfully pioneered a
merging of six regional Institutes into three
comprehensive Institutes, all under the thoughtful
direction of the College of International
Studies. Our institute is now being merged
together with the Institute of Latin American
Studies to become The Institute of (Continental)
American Studies -- an organization devoted to the
eclectic study of both Northern and Southern
hemispheres. This trend towards greater
integration of economies, cultures, politics, and
even languages of North and South America is
undeniable. It is manifested in every facet of
life in the US, with the same being true of
America’s neighbors to the South. The same trend
is playing out in Europe and in Asia. The faculty
and administrative staff of our newly combined
Institute is devoted to providing all our students
with the very best in educational opportunities,
research endeavors, and practical instruction. We
warmly welcome all university graduates at home
and abroad to apply for admission to our Masters
and Ph.D. programs.
