Plan Outline

This plan only applies to students who commenced their degree program before 2009.

European Studies courses are designed to provide an interdisciplinary European context which addresses basic issues and problems in the study of European culture and society, seen from the perspective of current attempts to establish a new role for a united Europe. They focus both on the enormous contribution of the European Enlightenment to our concepts of freedom, humanity and citizenship, and its troubled relationship to the realities of European world domination and power politics. The "New Europe" has become an economic power second only to the United States; will it be able to resolve these dilemmas, and regain some kind of moral and political leadership in world affairs as well? We can learn much from both Europe's failures and its achievements, especially the astonishing success of European integration in overcoming centuries-old hostilities, and its development of new political structures more appropriate to representing cultural diversity within a rapidly globalising economy.

Plan Structure

A major sequence in European Studies requires students to complete a minimum of 42 units of credit in EURO courses, including at least 30 units of credit at upper level.

With the Coordinator's approval, students may subsitute other courses focusing on Europe up to a total of 18 units of credit.
