EUropean and Transatlantic Studies

The EUropean and Transatlantic Studies major provides a multidisciplinary approach to the study of Europe (including Russia/Eurasia and the Middle East and North Africa-MENA) and its relations with the United States and the rest of the American continent while emphasizing foreign language proficiency.

The curriculum includes courses in European politics, European business and economy, European organizations, European security, EU foreign & security policy, Russian Foreign Policy, and EU-Russia-China-US relations that allow students to learn about Europe and the transatlantic world. Students also select courses from Arabic, economics, French, German, history, Italian, management, philosophy, political science, religion and culture, Russian, sociology, and Spanish.
