The MA in European Studies prepares our graduate students to become experts in Europe with their own individual focus. EURO alumni have gone on to enter various careers in fields such as government, non-profit, politics, education, research, and business. And, EURO has a long history of many Foreign Area Officers (FAOs) successfully completing the program. In fact, nearly one-third of all EURO alums are FAOs who serve as military attaches in American Embassies in Europe.
The MA in European Studies is a highly individualized degree
Students entering the program have the flexibility to tailor their course of study to their individual interests. EURO MA graduates are well prepared to pursue a variety of career paths in governmental, non-profit, and private sector work. For many other students, the MA degree represents a step toward doctoral studies. Our degree requirements are highly flexible while providing students with a multidisciplinary understanding of Europe and its role in the world.
Overview of Degree Requirements
The EURO MA requires 30 credit hours of graduate coursework, proficiency at the intermediate-mid to intermediate-high level of one approved European language, and the completion of a thesis. Please see the EURO MA degree bulletin for a more in-depth description of the program.
