About

For almost five decades, the Institute of European Studies (EURO) has prepared students for work in a wide variety of fields, including government, business, academia, and K-12 education. Through our flexible degree programs, students have the opportunity to tailor an educational experience to their unique interests and goals. Course offerings from 20 departments in eight schools and the chance to study any of twenty European languages ensures that our students have the expertise, analytical ability, and communication skills necessary to be an asset to any team.

 Our Region: What is European Studies?

Where does Europe begin, and where does it end? Answers to these questions have changed with time and remain contested today as borders become more porous, political regimes change, and the European Union takes on many of the responsibilities which once were the exclusive purview of the European nation states.

At the Institute of European Studies, we offer courses, degrees, and programming on issues facing the countries of Europe—from Iceland in the northwest to Turkey in the southeast; from Finland in the northeast to Portugal in the far southwest.
