Minor in European Studies
About the Minor
This minor offers an interdisciplinary look at Europe and the European Union, which holds a critically important geopolitical position in the US and the world for political, economic, cultural, and historical reasons. Together with content courses in English offered through a variety of departments, this minor also includes 6.0 credits of language instruction in one of the European languages offered through the Department of Global Studies and Modern Languages. Current relevant language offerings include Spanish, French, German, and Italian (as available). (Note that not all languages will be offered every term.)
Admissions Requirements
Students are required to declare a major before declaring a minor. Students admitted directly into a specific major at the time of matriculation may declare a minor beginning in their second semester. All requirements for the minor must be completed either concurrently with or prior to the completion of the primary major requirements. This ensures that students fulfill the expectations of their primary field of study while completing any additional areas of academic specialization.
