European Studies, Minor


A minor in European Studies provides interdisciplinary exposure to Europe’s history, culture, and politics, emphasizing both Europe’s regional specificity and its historical and contemporary interactions with other global regions. Proficiency in one European foreign language prepares students culturally and linguistically for professions in the public and private spheres in the US and Europe.

Note:  Departments may occasionally offer new courses that are not yet listed in the catalog, but still seem appropriate to satisfy the requirements of lines 2-6 of the minor in European Studies. To receive formal approval for such a course, students should contact the Director of European Studies in advance to discuss how it might the fulfill the line requirement. Minor credit will only be granted to requests that have been formally approved by the program Director.
