My "magister filologii angielskiej" was evaluated as "Master's Degree in English Language and Literature" by an official US evaluation company. I'd probably go for "American Studies with a Concentration in Language and Literature", as this is the main focus of Polish "filologia" programs.

Darius Saczuk Jan 28, 2013:

The term, I admit, is tricky, though. Why not simply put it as "amerykanistyka" - American Studies. I guess "filologiczna" accentuates the "language and literature" aspect in this case.

Darius Saczuk Jan 28, 2013:

In my opinion, "American Studies" is a little too broad in this case, as it lacks the "filologiczna" part, i.e. dismisses the "language and/or literature" part. American Studies or American civilization is an interdisciplinary field dealing with the study of the United States. It traditionally incorporates the study of history, literature, and critical theory, but also includes fields as diverse as law, art, the media, film, religious studies, urban studies, women's studies, gender studies, anthropology, sociology, African American studies, Chicano studies, Asian American studies, American Indian studies, foreign policy and culture of the United States, among other fields.

I don't know. I've got in an e-mail, though. Thanks.

Philology is never used as a major/concentration name at US universities.

I don't know why my comment regarding "philology" has disappeared.
