Graduate Certificate Programs
Through its Graduate Certificate Programs, the EUCE/ESC coordinate graduate and professional training designed to educate students about Western Europe and the European Union (EU).
The programs are based on the premise that the best method for preparing specialists on Western Europe and the EU is to provide a wide range of academic and professional courses on these subjects that complement work in a major discipline.
The Certificates are designed to enable students to major in any discipline (including the sciences) and to compliment their studies with an interdisciplinary set of courses directly related to Western Europe and/or the EU, in addition to proficiency in a West European language or an official language of an EU member state or accession candidate country, depending on the certificate program involved.
Certificate courses are offered in the departments of anthropology, classics, economics, English, fine arts, history, history of art and architecture, history and philosophy of science, linguistics, music, philosophy, political science, religious studies, sociology, study of culture, and theater arts; in the language departments of French and Italian, German, and Hispanic Languages and Literatures; and in the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA) and the School of Law, among others.
Available Funding Opportunities include Foreign Language Area Study Fellowships and assistance for graduate students research dealing with issues of modern European integration.
