The European Studies minor is for students with strong European interests or who plan to study in Europe on an EAP or OAP program but also those who seek to complement their major with the study of Europe as a political, cultural, and economic entity. To receive a minor in European Studies, a student must complete seven four-unit courses (twenty-eight units).
(A) Language requirement
ALL minors must demonstrate basic proficiency in a single European language other than English by completing four quarters of language instruction (or equivalent). Students may also complete this requirement by demonstrating advanced language ability on a proficiency exam. Students completing the language requirement through waiver (700 or better on SAT II language or a score of 4 or better on AP Language Exam), or proficiency exam will fulfill the language component of the minor by completing one of these requirements but no course credit will be applied toward the (seven) courses required for the minor.
Up to TWO 4-unit courses in foreign language can be included in the seven courses required for the minor. These may be lower-division courses.
(B) Additional course requirements
1. The remaining five to seven courses (depending on the number of language courses applied to the minor) must take at least three courses on Europe as a whole including one course in each of the two broad tracks:
a. Economics and Politics
b. Culture and Society
(See course listings for each track.)
2. At least one of the track courses should be in the History Department.
3. No more than three courses in any one department.
4. All courses applied to the minor must receive a letter grade of C- or better.
5. Upper-division courses may include up to two 198 and 199 courses and up to three courses from UC Education Abroad Program (EAP) and UCSD’s Opportunities Abroad Program (OAP) with the approval of the minor advisor.
6. Minors in European Studies are encouraged to participate in the UC Education Abroad Program (EAP) and UCSD’s Opportunities Abroad Program (OAP). Students should consult with the faculty director before going abroad to determine which courses will be approved for minor credit.
