European Studies

International exploration, meaningful experiences.

From the Ural Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean, you’ll explore Europe’s multiple national identities, socio-economic and political movements, and rich intellectual traditions in an interdisciplinary program dedicated to in-depth, comparative study. You’ll delve into differences of language, culture, and history, and focus on the complex historical and contemporary forces that shape Europe. You’ll investigate multiple perspectives requiring thematic, comparative, and critical thinking skills, and prepare for post-graduate success with strong language skills and deep international networks, both personal and professional.
