A new interdisciplinary minor in European Union and European Studies was recently approved by the College’s Curriculum Committee.
The minor is part of a Title VI grant received by the College late last fall and made possible through the Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language (UISFL) Program within the U.S. Department of Education. The two-year grant of $148,797 will be matched through College and donor contributions.
