As the birthplace of the economic, political, and social institutions that we associate with modern life, Europe has shaped and will continue to have a significant impact on the United States and the world. As a student in UVM's European Studies Program, one of nine areas of study within global and regional studies, you can explore Europe's history, culture and languages through an interdisciplinary program of study designed around your own particular interests in a region, time period or theme. Our European Studies major program provides a stimulating blend of courses from disciplines including history, political science, religion and more. Our program will offer you a skillset, including writing and critical thinking, that can be applied towards any career path. The European Studies major consists of 33 course credits, and most of our major students spend time abroad.
