C. Upper Division European Language Requirement (6 units, minimum) **

1. Composition and Grammar (3 units)

One course in advanced composition and grammar in a European language other than English. European languages available at CSUF are French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish. The following CSUF courses would satisfy this requirement:

With the approval of the Program Coordinator, students wishing to pursue European languages other than those offered at CSUF may satisfy these requirements by enrolling in comparable courses at other CSU or UC campuses or by transferring credits from other accredited language programs.

D. Upper-Division Writing Requirement (3 units)

European Studies will not offer its own upper-division writing course. Instead, students will be advised to take an approved writing course in one of the program’s constituent departments. For a European Studies major with a declared minor, the writing course in that minor will satisfy this requirement. For double majors, the writing requirement will be satisfied by taking the writing course in the second major.

E. European Studies Senior Colloquium (3 units)

EUST 490: Senior capstone course conducted by the Program Coordinator. Students will prepare and submit a portfolio drawing together work completed during their program of study in European Studies. Students will also prepare and publicly present a final paper/project.

Note on Prerequisites: Established departmental prerequisites for the following courses will not be waived for European Studies students.

Note on Special Topics, Variable Topics, and New Courses: When such courses deal in some significant way with the European experience, the Program Coordinator may exercise her/his discretion to approve them for European Studies credit.

Note on Purpose of Advisement Tracks:  Advisement Tracks are designed to help students in their career and educational planning.  The tracks represent central concentrations within the field of European Studies.  While students gain their core knowledge of the category “Europe” by taking the European Studies Core Requirements, the advisement tracks allow students to develop further specialization in one of four central aspects of the European experience.

ADVISEMENT TRACK ONE: European Culture, Religion & Philosophy

This track is particularly useful for students whose career objectives are in education, as well as those who plan to study some aspect of the European experience at the graduate level.  Students choosing Advisement Track One gain expertise in the changing, contested definitions of European cultural identity.  They have the opportunity to examine further the philosophical and religious underpinnings of European culture and to explore how Europeans have defined cultural insiders and outsiders based on ethnicity, race, religion, class, and gender.
