The article offers information on the existence of American studies in Tehran, Iran. The University of Tehran in collaboration with the American Studies Association (ASA) has offered graduate course and masteral programs for business education which emphasize research techniques and methodologies employed by Americans. Lectures on globalization, culture, diaspora and American literature and orientalism with political and cultural awareness were also discussed in the course by academic experts on American society and history. In addition, ASA is a left-leaning organization which provides opportunity to their scholars to fully developed their understandings and learning through outside experiences.
