European Studies (EURS)
Interdisciplinary Program
The European Studies program is designed for students who seek a career in International Relations - especially in International Business and Administration - between Canada and Europe. It offers a combination of languages, specially designed courses in European thought, letters and history and specialization in either European Business or European Culture and Civilization.
Successful completion of the European Studies major requires proficiency in one of the following languages (French, German, Italian or Spanish). It is highly recommended that students spend their third year studying at a European university, in the country where their chosen core language is spoken. The benefits of such an experience are considerable, both academically and personally.
Study Abroad
Year 3 or year 4 will provide students with the opportunity to continue their studies abroad. Students will select up to 6.00 credits which can be included in the area of emphasis, as electives, or both. They are subject to approval by the program coordinator and the departmental advisor. Courses taken in Europe will not count towards the specialization average.
Practicum Opportunity
EURO*3700 Experiential Learning and Language is available for those students wishing to participate in a practicum experience as part of the year abroad. The practicum must be a job or volunteer experience that contributes to the student's area of study and intended career. It must be approved in advance by the Coordinator. A final report, written in the student's chosen language, is a requirement of this course.
Major (Honours Program)
A minimum of 10.50 credits is required, including:
4.00 credits in the European Studies core, 2.50 credits in one language, and 4.00 credits in either the European Culture and Civilization or the European Business Studies area of emphasis
