The ESC offers several certificates for undergraduate students. A certificate is similar to a minor. It allows students in any major (including the sciences and professional disciplines) to complement that major with an interdisciplinary set of courses related to Western Europe and/or the European Union in addition to proficiency in a relevant language.
Undergraduate Certificates Offered
West European Studies Certificate
The Certificate in West European Studies provides students with strong interests in predominantly Western European history, culture, politics, and languages to complement their major with a regional specialization.
European Union Studies Certificate
The Certificate in European Union Studies offers students with academic and professional interests in the European Union an opportunity to study the institution, its history and development, its political and economic policies, and its influence on Europe and the world in depth.
Certificate in Transatlantic Studies
The Certificate in Transatlantic Studies lets students pursue a comparative study of Europe and the United States, as well as countries that touch the Atlantic.
Certificate in Mediterranean Studies
Through coursework and language study, the interdisciplinary Mediterranean Studies certificate program allows students to contextualize the ideas, history and politics of Mediterranean cultures past and present and examine their influence both in and outside of the region.
Central European Studies Certificate
The Central European Studies Certificate targets students who are interested in exploring the specific experiences of Central European societies during the 19th and 20th centuries.
Related Concentration in European and Eurasian Studies
For those whose academic plans do not allow space and time to complete a full certificate, the Related Concentration in European and Eurasian Studies is another credential that can contextualize your Europe-related courses and study abroad experiences and does appear on the transcript.
