Minor in European Studies
The European Studies (EURO) minor features an interdisciplinary approach to the study of cultural, economic, environmental, political, security, and strategic issues faced by contemporary Europe. Defining Europe either in the geographic sense—stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Caucasus and Ural Mountains—or in the political sense of membership in the Council of Europe, EURO draws together courses from a number of departments to offer a synoptic view of the challenges Europe confronts in the twenty-first century. EURO is designed so that students will gain enhanced knowledge and skills appropriate for careers in public service, education, and business, as well as any other profession that values in-depth knowledge of the European continent, its inhabitants, and its position in the global order.
