#MyUniversity: Tatia Beridze | American Studies Program

“When I was applying to universities, I wanted to choose a university and program that would not only allow me to thoroughly study English, but would also provide a comprehensive education. Today, I’m already a student of the American Studies Bachelor’s program at the International Black Sea University, and as I finish my first year, I can confidently say that enrolling in this program at IBSU was one of my best decisions.

The academic program is truly interesting and diverse – we study American identity, politics, culture, and traditions. This country stands out for its history, cultural diversity, and global influence, which makes studying it particularly fascinating. For example, the course ‘American Landmarks’ introduces us to both historical monuments and sites, as well as religious diversity, jazz, as part of national identity, and significant figures from American history.

What’s also important is that the program offers us the opportunity to choose an additional specialization – Translation Studies or Public Relations (PR), which makes the learning process even more practical and gives us a multifaceted experience.
