Degree Requirements
European Studies was developed to offer students a comprehensive approach to Western, Central and Eastern European affairs for a liberal education background and career preparation. A multidisciplinary perspective is offered, with most studies focused on political science, history, sociology and foreign language. The offerings in the disciplines participating in this major are far-reaching in scope and yet provide for in-depth studies of individual countries or sub-regions, tailored to the individual student's interests and needs.
