She went to America to study English literature.

Literal

She [topic-は] English-literature [object-を] study [in order to-ために] America [to-へ] went.

Two purposes meet two destinations. ~ために on a dictionary-form verb expresses deliberate purpose — 'in order to study'; the directional へ marks America as the destination of motion. 英文学 is the academic field of English literature (the literary tradition of the English language), distinct from 英語 ('the English language' as a subject). 学ぶ is more bookish than 勉強する — it suggests pursuing a discipline rather than just doing schoolwork, fitting the seriousness of moving abroad for study.
