Los procesos de lectoescritura de los niños y niñas del grado cuarto

The European Union now spans from Western Europe to the Baltic Region, Eastern and Central Europe, and to Cyprus. The new Europe manifests itself in different ways—through integrated economic markets, Europe- wide elections, evolving political institutions, and emerging European identity. The European Union minor seeks to address these issues by equipping students with the analytical tools to deal with the "making of the European Union."

Students take one core course in each of three areas and 9 elective credits selected in consultation with the advisor to complete the minor. Students must meet with the Institute for European Studies academic advisor to apply for acceptance.

Required Courses

Students pursuing the minor in European Union Studies are required to complete 18 credit hours of course work to be distributed as follows. At least 9 credit hours must be at the 300 or 400 level.
