European Studies

-
Timoty
Westphalen,
Director
-
- The Program in
European Studies is designed to foster knowledge of European
civilization. In acquainting students with European culture and history,
it enables them to understand those traditions that give Europe's
diversified personality its inner coherence. The program promotes an
interdisciplinary approach while insisting upon a structured course of
study. Completion of courses at a European university on a study-abroad
program is strongly recommended.
-
- Major in European
Studies
-
- The
interdisciplinary major in European Studies introduces students to the
rich variety of cultures, politics, languages, and literatures of
Europe. Students acquire fundamental knowledge of European culture and
history by beginning with two core courses (EUR 101 and EUR 201) and two
courses in European History (HIS 101 and HIS 102). They deepen this
knowledge by selecting four courses in one of several concentrations,
and they develop breadth by taking two additional courses in a different
concentration. Their program is intended to culminate in EUR 401, a
capstone seminar in which students apply their general knowledge within
a particular concentration to a specific project.
-
- Graduates with the
major in European Studies can expect to work in business, government,
the service industry, and politics. Majors will also be prepared to
continue with graduate studies in business, humanities, law, and social
sciences.
-
- Requirement for
the Majors in European Studies (EUR)
- The major in
European Studies leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree. All courses offered
for the major must be passed with a letter grade of C or higher.
Eighteen credits for the major must be earned in courses numbered 300 or

Undergraduate Studies. Deadline for submission of the proposal is April 30
for the spring semester, and November 30 for the fall semester. Selection of
candidates and topics is made by a committee within the department. Students
