Study Abroad Programs: Western European Studies

A program in Western European Studies will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the cultures and histories of Western Europe. Courses may cover topics such as art, literature, history, politics, and economics. Students will also have the opportunity to learn about the European Union and its member countries, as well as the challenges and opportunities that arise from being a part of a diverse and complex political and economic system.

Most programs in Western European Studies will be classified under the Social Sciences or Humanities instructional program categories. These programs may be offered at the undergraduate or graduate level and may include opportunities for language immersion, internships, or study tours. Students may have the opportunity to study in cities such as Paris, Berlin, or Madrid, which are rich in history, art, and culture. Some programs may also include visits to nearby countries, allowing students to gain a broader perspective on European integration and regional cooperation. Overall, a program in Western European Studies can be a rewarding and enriching experience for students interested in European history, politics, and culture.
