The European Area Studies Minor

We encourage our MUDEC students to consider the European Area Studies (EAS) minor, because it is a natural fit for a lot of our students. Most of the courses offered at MUDEC count toward this minor. Note that it qualifies as a Thematic Sequence. Unlike the Lux Thematic Sequences, however, it cannot be completed entirely at MUDEC.

Description of the Minor

Most of the courses offered in Luxembourg count toward the EAS Minor requirements. Please note that it is typically necessary to fulfill the European geography course on the Oxford campus.  The EAS Minor requirements -- at least 18 credit hours -- are the following:

•  A modern European history course at the 200-400 level OR HST 122 Western Civilization
•  GEO 311 Geography of Western Europe, GEO 307 Geography of Russia, OR another European geography course
•  POL 333 Politics of Western Europe , POL 332 Politics of Russia , POL 423 European Union Politics and Policies, OR ECO 341 Economic History of Modern Europe
•  A course in European culture (from literature, art, architecture, music, theater, or cinema)
•  A course in modern European language at the 300+ level -- taught in the language

Plus additional Europe-focused courses in consultation with advisor, to attain the 18 credit-hour requirement.
