European Studies Minor
Are you fascinated with the inner workings of the politics,
history and economies of Europe? Do you enjoy European culture,
languages and art? Do you aim to pursue a career that requires you
to travel in Europe, understand European Union issues? Then a minor
in European Studies might be for you.
The European Studies minor is a multi-disciplinary program that
explores contemporary Europe through the study of its politics,
society, history and culture. It was designed for business, science
and arts students.
European Studies can offer the chance to broaden your horizons through travel. Study abroad, and spend a semester at Memorial’s Harlow campus in the U.K. Visit Italy, Brussels, France and other fascinating destinations.
A European Studies Minor could lead to a career in foreign
service, journalism, international finance and trade, or equip you
with the right tools for work with international non-governmental
organisations.
