European Studies Minor Requirements

The European Studies minor requires students to complete six courses totaling at least 18 credit hours.  Two courses are required while the remaining four can be chosen from among the electives listed below.

Students must also complete at least the 104-level in a modern European Language. In terms of European languages, the Deparment of Modern Languages and Literatures at Loyola offers instruction in French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, and Spanish. Students having learned a different European language may submit a Language Competecy Exam at or above the 104-level. Alternatively, students may request approval from the Director of European Studies for certification of this requirement; this last option is primarily intended for bilingual, native speakers of a European language where sitting for an exam is not necessary.

Required Courses

• HIST 102:  Evolution of Western Ideas and Institutions since 17th Century (3 credits)
• PLSC 347: The European Union (3 credits)

Elective Courses

Students must take four electives from the courses listed below. This list is based on courses suggested by the respective department chairs. At least two of the electives need to be at the 300-level. To promote the interdisciplinary nature of the program, no more than two electives may be taken from any one department. In conjunction with the required courses listed above, this means that no more than three courses in total may be taken from any one department and applied to the European Studies minor.

The new rules on double-dipping (see here) make completing the interdisciplinary minor in European Studies very easy and provide students with unparalled flexibility in desigining their own minor.  Because classes taken to satisfy the Core Requirements of the College do not count as a double-dip, students can nearly complete the minor and Core simultaneously with only a modicum of strategic planning. For example, while there are two courses that satisify the Tier 1 Foundation Course in Theological and Religious Knowledge, only THEO 100 can be applied to the Euroepan Studies minor. While students should take courses they are interessted in, only THEO 100 can satisfy both the Core and European Studies minor simultaneously.
