American Studies Program

Your ASP story is valuable! We want to hear from you, Alumni!

We dug into the photo albums and found these beauties from the early 90’s & 2000’s. What was happening just out of frame? You tell us!

For more than 45 years, the American Studies Program (ASP) has encouraged active Christian engagement in the American political system. However, the Council for Christian College & Universities (CCCU), which oversees the operations of CCCU GlobalEd Student Programs, including ASP, has made the decision to discontinue running and operating ASP. This past spring was our final semester.

We celebrate the decades of stories and impact this program has provided, extend a deep gratitude to all who helped make this program successful, and rejoice in all that the Lord has used ASP to accomplish.

A full statement on this decision can be found at cccu.org/news-updates/american-studies-program-update-2023-24-academic-year/
