Cultural knowledge and the awareness of being part of a global reality involve the need to understand individual cultural identities. Europe’s history, its myths, and ongoing realities have always been, and still are, part of a complex process requiring the study and the implications of disciplines that span from the arts and humanities to the social sciences. These courses encourage students from different ethnic backgrounds and cultures to think critically, to develop their individual creativity and research interests, and to improve their writing skills. The courses serve to enrich the students’ knowledge of the liberal arts tradition across the spectrum of European cultures. They may be combined with courses required for students’ majors or minors. Students with an interest in European and non- European languages who are studying other fields\u2014 anthropology, art, business and liberal arts, comparative literature, economics, education, film and media studies, history, Jewish studies, linguistics, political science, sociology, women’s studies, or world studies\u2014can broaden their perspectives and prepare themselves for graduate study as well as future careers by taking EURO courses.<\/p>\n
