European Studies Minor Requirements

The European Studies minor requires students to complete six courses totaling at least 18 credit hours.

Required Courses

• HIST 102 Evolution of Western Ideas and Institutions since 17th Century (3 credits) OR EURO 101 Introduction to European Studies (3 credits)

• One of the following six courses (3 credits):

  HIST 330 Europe in the Age of Catastrophe, 1900-1945

  HIST 336 Contemporary Europe, 1945 to the Present

  PHIL 309 Classical Modern Philosophy

  PLSC 308 Contemporary Political Thought

  PLSC 347 European Union Politics

  PLSC 360 Western European Politics

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, no more than three courses in total may be taken from any one department and applied to the European Studies minor. In other words, students may not apply HIST 102, HIST 330, and 2 HIST electives to the minor; they may enroll in HIST 102 and HIST 330 as required courses, but if they do they may then only add one history elective from the list. In short, no more than 3 courses, including the required courses, may be taken from any one department and applied to the minor.
