The minor in European Studies complements established regional and thematic tracks such as Asian Studies, Latin American Studies, or Russian and Eurasian Studies, and provides students with an opportunity to study a specific context from an interdisciplinary and critical perspective. Many disciplines, departments, and programs at Colorado College focus directly or indirectly on questions concerned with Europe in national, transnational, or comparative contexts. The minor forges new connections between these disciplines, departments, individual faculty members, and students, allowing students to create a personalized course of study focused on European issues. In so doing, it provides a platform to share ideas and resources, collaborate, and critically interrogate Europe in new and innovative ways.
