The European Studies Program offers undergraduates the opportunity to earn a Certificate in European Studies. Potential recipients of the Certificate:
- have demonstrated
a commitment to the study of Europe by attaining competency in a European
language (other than English);
- have taken either courses that address Europe as a whole or a combination of courses that cover at least three European countries or subregions from at least two different departments.
The Certificate in European Studies will be a very valuable entry on an undergraduate's record. For undergraduates applying to graduate schools to study Europe, the Certificate can point to a sustained level of interest in the continent. For students seeking employment in businesses dealing with Europe, the Certificate can demonstrate a breadth of background in the continent not normally found among U.S. undergraduates.

TWO disciplines that focus on Europe, its regions or countries in one of the following ways:
• All courses address Europe as a whole by focusing on topics such as the European Union, European History, or European Literature;

• A combination of courses focusing on Europe as a whole and courses focusing on at least two European countries or regions.
