The Minor in European Studies consists of the basic study of a European language and an interdisciplinary selection of courses chosen in consultation with the program coordinator. Students develop informed perspectives on both historical and contemporary aspects of European life and culture. The minor is a useful complement to majors in European languages, the arts, history, international relations, political science, and business.
Students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of study abroad opportunities in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, or the United Kingdom.
