As the birthplace of the economic, political, and social institutions that we associate with modern life, Europe has shaped and will continue to have a significant impact on the United States and the world. As a student in UVM's European Studies Program, one of nine areas of study within global and regional studies, you can explore Europe's history, culture and languages through an interdisciplinary program of study designed around your own particular interests in a region, time period or theme.
