The Max Kade Center for European and German Studies offers an interdisciplinary major in modern European studies (EUS), designed for students who want to broaden their awareness of the European experience and to prepare for international careers or advanced study. Its curriculum is designed to give majors disciplinary breadth as well as expertise in a specialty of their choosing.
In consultation with the director of EUS, students select a particular focus and specific courses that will fulfill requirements of the major. This focus could consist of a thematic or comparative topic (such as culture and society during a particular epoch), a regional or sub-regional topic (i.e. as European integration, the Iberian Peninsula) or the culture and society of a particular nation (such as France, Germany, Italy). In addition to the core requirements, majors will take relevant courses in History, Social Sciences, and the Humanities, as well as a foreign language of the student’s choice.
Most EUS majors also participate in one of the Vanderbilt study abroad programs in Europe and/or reside in the International House on campus.
The EUS minor involves 18 hours of coursework with the same concentration and distribution requirements. Finally, students may elect from among five special hybrid majors, namely French and European Studies, German and European Studies, Russian and European Studies, Spanish and European Studies, and Spanish, Portuguese, and European Studies
