European Studies Program — The Program

The dissolution of the Eastern Bloc and the increasing integration and economic importance of the European Community have heightened interest in Europe, a region that includes many of America’s major trading partners and political allies. The Programin European Studies is an interdisciplinary program of study for students interested in the history, economics, politics, and culture of modern Europe—from the British Isles to the eastern edges of Russia. Concentrating on contemporary Europe, courses selected from an approved list of offerings explore the peoples, cultures, institutions, ideals, and achievements of the diverse countries that form modern Europe.
