BA European Studies

The European Studies Major aims to equip students to appreciate the richness of European cultures, societies, and languages that are fundamental to understanding Europe, as well as other parts of the world. The program provides the opportunity to study this region from the vantage points of several disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, both historically and contemporary. It aims at breaking down the traditional distinctions between the eastern and western blocs in the light of important internal and global transformations that are happening in Europe today. This includes questions pertaining to cultural, economic, political and social structures, and intellectual life.
