European Studies, Minor
European Studies at Penn is an interdisciplinary minor and an ideal addition to the study of many disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. It supplements majors in history, political science, sociology and art history as well as in French, German, English, Spanish, Italian and Slavic languages. It is designed to give students access to:
- An understanding of Europe as a historical and cultural entity and its world leadership in business, politics and culture.
- A great variety of countries, cultures and languages whose interaction with each other and with the United States is an essential part of transatlantic culture.
- The institutions of a new Europe—European Union, Council of Europe, European Court of Human Rights—reflecting the largest experiment in building a global system of governance in human history.
