The European Studies minor is an interdisciplinary approach to the study of political, social, economic, geographic, and cultural issues faced by Europe. Defining Europe in its broadest geographical sense, from the Atlantic to the Urals, the European Studies minor draws together a variety of departments from a number of colleges to offer students a broad view of the challenges Europe faces in the twenty-first century. The framework of the European Studies minor is formulated so that students will emerge with enhanced knowledge and skills appropriate for careers in education, business, and government, as well as any other profession that values in-depth knowledge of the European continent and its inhabitants.
Proficiency required in a continental European language by passing two years or the equivalent of study in one contemporary language, normally through the 202 level. By taking a placement exam, the student may begin at a level higher than the 101 level. The chairperson of Modern Languages and Classics will determine language equivalency in consultation with the European Studies program director.
In exceptional circumstances courses not in the approved electives list may be substituted to complete the minor with the advance permission of the European Studies program director.
European content may vary significantly with the instructor and/or the semester; the student's enrollment for European Studies credit is contingent on the European Studies director's review of the course syllabus and approval for ENG 205, 497, and PHIL 306.
