The Institute for European Studies is excited to let you know that students currently enrolled in Comparative Literature, Government, History, History of Art, and Romance Studies courses have already completed the first requirements for a European Studies (ES) Minor.

Through an interdisciplinary curriculum, you can mold the ES Minor to your interests. You’ll have the opportunity to explore Europe’s past, present, and future and demonstrate a knowledge of European languages, culture, history, politics, and international relations.

The minor offers the chance to take courses across colleges on subjects that shape your understanding of a globalizing world, while also providing you with an area of expertise. You will gain critical thinking skills, language abilities, and helpful frameworks for assessing today’s most pressing issues in Europe and around the world.

Join us for an information session on Tuesday, November 10th at 5:00 pm to chat about your interests and learn more about the European Studies minor from IES faculty, staff, and student representatives.
