The European Studies program at Barnard College enables students to combine disciplinary approaches to the study of Europe. Students ground themselves in a core discipline (history, political science, anthropology, sociology, theater, and philosophy, among others) that provides them with methodological expertise. They also take courses in the language and literature of a chosen region of Europe and complement this program with a selection of courses exploring Europe from other disciplinary perspectives. Students are encouraged to study abroad in the region of their interest.
Student Learning Objectives
Students who graduate with a major in European Studies will be able to attain the following outcomes:
- Demonstrate an understanding of the breadth of Europe’s cultural heritage as well as its distinctive components;
- Explain the role of language and literature within culture;
- Apply different disciplinary perspectives to the study of a single region.
