European Studies

There’s no one way to talk about an entire continent, its history, and its influence all over the modern world. That’s why the European Studies minor offers numerous entry points—history, art, art history, literature, music, political science, and philosophy (to name just a few)—to enhance your knowledge of, and full immersion in, all things Europe.
