Director: Belinda Davis

The program in European studies seeks to enrich Rutgers University students' understanding of the historical and ongoing transformations of Europe's peoples, cultures, societies, and politics through an interdisciplinary approach. The major encourages the comparative and transnational analysis of various issues concerning the construction of Europe itself and its place in a global context. The program defines Europe broadly and focuses primarily if not exclusively on the modern (post-1700) period.

The faculty supports the idea that different disciplinary approaches to European studies complement each other and enable students to examine the complex variety of ways that Europe can be understood. For this reason, the two core course requirements are situated in several disciplines; for remaining courses, majors, and minors may choose from the range of relevant courses across the University. Students should be in close contact with a program adviser in designing their course of study.
