The European Studies Minor
The European Studies minor is for students with strong European interests or who plan to study in Europe through Study Abroad Programs, but also those who seek to complement their major with the study of Europe as a political, cultural, and economic entity. To receive a minor in European Studies, a student must complete seven four-unit courses (twenty-eight units), at least five of which must be upper division and taken in at least two different departments. Language courses are not required for this minor, but please note that some upper-division courses may have prerequisites.
Up to two four-unit courses in foreign language can be included in the seven courses required for the minor. These may be lower-division courses.
All courses applied to the minor must receive a letter grade of C– or better.
Upper-division courses may include up to two 198 and 199 courses and up to three courses from Study Abroad Programs with the approval of the program director.
Minors in European Studies are encouraged to study abroad in Europe. Students should consult with the program director before going abroad to determine which courses will be approved for minor credit.
