American Studies

     The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy and designated universities in various regions in the Philippines and the American Chamber of Commerce in Cebu have established American Studies Resource Centers (ASRCs) to provide information about the United States in cities outside Metro Manila not served by the Thomas Jefferson Information Center. These ASRCs maintain a collection of books, videotapes and periodicals related to studies about the United States for the academic community of the host institution and others such as faculty members and students of other universities, professionals in both government and private organizations, and agencies. The ASRCs also co-sponsor cultural activities such as exhibits and lectures by American specialists and an annual Seminar on American Studies for members of the community who have a strong personal/professional interest in updating their knowledge about the United States. Policies for the use of the ASRCs are determined by the host institution. 

American Studies Resource Centers are located in the following institutions:
