European Studies
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.
